| "Fleet Management at its Best" Being able to see the location of your vehicles will likely provide major improvements to your operation in terms of fleet efficiency and customer service. But, vehicle tracking by itself still doesn't provide the whole picture of what's really going on in the field. With Visual Tow, Tracker gives towing companies much more. Visual Tow opens up a picture window view with a front row seat for dispatchers by adding a new graphical user interface to your existing Tracker system that works in conjunction with the existing dispatch screen. Being a dispatcher just got a lot easier.... Imagine adding a second computer monitor for each dispatcher that sits just to the left of their existing monitor. Picture a detailed street map on the left, with the Tracker dispatch screen on the right. Now, imagine that you can see not only where all your trucks are on that new monitor, but where your calls are too. Take a call for 123 Main Street and there it is on the map, right there on 1st and Main! Click to Enlarge | 
| Visual Tow tracks the live location of your trucks to within a minute and color codes them by their current status. For example, green trucks are not yet assigned to a tow job, blue for assigned to a call, red for hooked, etc. Notice how you can even identify the type of truck! | 
| | | 
| In addition to tracking your trucks, Visual Tow puts your jobs directly on the map at their actual location. Identify the job type at a quick glance, with different icons for service calls, tire calls, gas, light duty, med duty and heavy duty calls, etc. | 
| | | 
| Quickly identify the 5 closest trucks to a job with a single button click. Visual Tow helps your dispatcher assign the closest available vehicle quickly and easily. | 
| | | 
| Click on a Job or Vehicle to see full details, including its tow status and location. Tracker links the tow truck with the Tracker dispatch system, so all changes to a job are reflected on the map. | 
| | | 
| By clicking on a job or truck that has been assigned, Visual Towshows all the aspects of the job, including the location of the tow, the destination and the assigned truck. The system also indicates mileage from the truck to the job. | 
| | | 
| The integrated route planning tool allows your dispatcher to plan an actual route for an important job, measure mileage and produce turn by turn driver directions. | 
| | | 
| Visual Tow even allows you to import your regular accountsdirectly out of Tracker so they are shown on the map. Accounts can be color coded, so that certain account types are certain colors, such as all body shops are red. |

Now, you're getting the picture... Suppose you could easily tell which calls need to be assigned to a driver, which ones are getting stale and which ones are high priority -just by their color on the map? What if you could not only tell exactly where each trucks is, but their tow status at any given moment? Which trucks are en-route, which are hooked and even which are loading? Visual Tow changes the dispatch environment to a visual environment that compliments the existing Tracker call entry and dispatch system. The result makes dispatching not only much simpler, but faster. The ability to see a real-time graphical picture of all vehicle and job activity changes the perspective of the dispatcher to one where more informed decisions can be made and executed quickly, accurately and easily. Visual Tow sets a new standard for the way towing companies will dispatch and track calls Visual Tow is an integral part of Tracker. Kind of like left brain, right brain. The Visual Tow screen is like your right brain. (Unless you're left handed) You know, the creative, touchy-feely side that relates more to images and pictures than words. The Tracker dispatch screen is like your left brain. Its the cold, calculating, logical side -the one Spock would use. Just like the two hemispheres of your brain, the two sides of Tracker are highly integrated. Anything that happens on the one side is immediately known by the other. Dispatch a call in the traditional Tracker dispatch screen -fine, no problem. You see over there on the map -it just changed colors to yellow for assigned. Nice try though... Visual Tow doubles the benefits of GPS tracking for towers 
| Imagine being able to view not only the location of your vehicles on a street map, but your current and scheduled jobs as well... |
| What if you could see the current status of every truck and every call according to their icon color right on the map? |
| What if your GPS system was fully integrated with your Tracker system, so that changes to job status in the Tracker system instantly were reflected right on the GPS map and vice versa? |
| Think of the benefits if your GPS system also had optional wireless dispatch -so when you assign a job it is instantly sent to the driver.. |
| What if you could quickly identify the closest available truck? |
|
Control, Monitor and Allocate Resources More Quickly, Easily, Accurately and Efficiently Your dispatcher becomes a fleet control specialist with Visual Tow. Able to see the big picture.
