Towing and roadside software for South Africa
Towing is a phone business. A stranded driver calls, you need a truck moving in minutes, and the pickup and drop-off are rarely the same town. DispatchMind puts both addresses on the job, shows every driver side by side on the dispatch board, and lets Nellie take the call at night when you can't.
Pick South Africa and Towing and roadside when you sign up and it’s ready: ZAR, VAT, 2026/10/27 dates.
A typical towing and roadside job
- A driver with a flat calls at midnight, and Nellie answers, gets the location and vehicle, and books a Flat tire job.
- You see it on the dispatch board, assign the closest driver, and they tap on my way in the tech app.
- If the tire can't be fixed, it becomes a Tow with the pickup address and the drop-off at the customer's shop on the same job.
- The driver adds photos of the vehicle before hooking it up and notes any damage.
- The customer pays by card on the spot through your own Stripe account, and the job shows in the driver's pay report.

Can I put a pickup and drop-off address on a tow?
Yes. Every tow job holds both a pickup and drop-off address, so the driver sees the full trip in the app. That works for local tows and long-distance tows.
Can an AI answer my towing line after hours?
Yes. Nellie, the AI dispatcher add-on, can answer when you can't, ask the right roadside questions, flag what's urgent and book the job. She's on during the free trial.
