## What is Tow?

Tow-Ops is the professional mobile platform built exclusively for licensed tow truck operators in Ontario. Whether you work independently or for a tow company, Tow-Ops replaces paper-based workflows with a fast, compliant, and connected experience — right from your truck.
Built for Ontario. Built for TSSEA.
Tow-Ops is designed around the Towing and Storage Safety and Enforcement Act, 2021. Every invoice, consent form, and circle check meets Ontario's regulatory requirements out of the box.
Manage Every Job from Start to Finish
Accept dispatched jobs from connected tow companies or create your own ad-hoc tows on the spot. Move through the full status pipeline — Assigned, Accepted, En Route, On Scene, Submitted, Completed — with mandatory notes at every step to keep your records tight.
TSSEA-Compliant Consent to Tow
Collect Schedule 2 consent digitally, every time. Sign on-device or send a QR code for the customer to complete on their own phone. PDF generated automatically, stored securely, and emailed to the customer if needed.
Professional Invoicing
Generate fully compliant TSSEA invoices instantly for any job. Your business info, vehicle details, line items, HST, signature, and legal disclaimer — all included. Share the invoice and vehicle photos directly with the vehicle owner.
Ontario CVOR Circle Checks
Complete your daily pre-shift vehicle inspection in minutes. All CVOR-required items covered — lights, brakes, tires, fluids, tow equipment, and more. Flag anomalies with notes to keep your compliance record clean.
Real-Time Traffic & Incident Alerts
Stay ahead of road conditions with live incident alerts near your work zone. Accidents, breakdowns, road closures, and construction — sourced from Ontario 511 and HERE Traffic, with pins on the map showing incident type, source, and time reported.
VIN Scanner
Scan vehicle VIN barcodes instantly using your camera — or switch to text recognition mode to read VINs directly from the door jamb when the barcode is damaged or missing.
Daily Logs & Passenger Tracking
Log your shift, track passengers riding along, and maintain the records you need for compliance and liability.
Connect to Your Dispatch Company
Search for tow companies on the platform and send a connection request. Once approved, their jobs appear in your feed automatically. Control exactly what you share — files, circle checks, and location — on a per-company basis.
Work Zone & Location
Set your preferred work zone on a map so dispatch companies know your area. Location sharing is foreground-only — no background battery drain.
Independent Operator? Start on Your Own.
No company needed. Create ad-hoc tow jobs, generate invoices, manage your own files, and run your business independently from day one.
What's New (Version 1.0):
Initial release of Tow-Ops for iOS. Full job management, TSSEA consent to tow, invoicing, Ontario CVOR circle checks, real-time traffic alerts, VIN scanner with OCR, daily logs, passenger tracking, and company connections.
