Today we are excited to announce our newest addition to Towbook;  we call it Intercom.

Intercom is the most efficient way for our team to answer your questions and give you support around the clock. All inbound customer requests arrive in a unified team inbox along with your account information, browser data, and platform and mobile device information so that we can provide timely and accurate response. It also allow us to track next level statistics and response times so we can continue to make Towbook the most efficient application that it can be.

How do you use Intercom?

You may have already without knowing it! We have added a small circular icon in the bottom right corner of the web application (viewable when logged in) that allows you to quickly send support requests and feedback. In the near future, you will also be seeing these added to the iPhone and Android applications.

However, should you not be logged in or using the app; any support request or email sent to support@towbook.com will automatically be added to Intercom as well. If sent with an email address linked to your account, it will also contain a history of your requests and information.

We are excited.

We believe this is going to help our support team reach the next level, and since we believe supporting your business is crucial to our success; it makes us really excited.

As always if you have urgent requests or need someone on the phone right away feel free to call us at (810) 320-5063. We look forward to seeing you on Intercom!

Today we released an update for the Towbook Android App.

Most of the changes were minor, but a few of the updates are significant. Listed below is a summary of the items included in this new release.

• Account Name. We added the account name to the view call screen so you no longer have to edit a call to see which account the call is for, which eliminates an extra step.
• Push Notifications. We’ve upgraded the new call notification service to improve the consistency of call alerts.
• Agero Digital Dispatching. The Towbook Android App now includes the capability to support digital dispatching. If your company is using Towbook’s new digital dispatching service you will receive the new call notification on your phone so you don’t have to be in front of a computer.
• Added Call Number to the Impound Listing Page
• Storage Rate Calculations. We’ve improved how storage rates and storage start dates work in the Android app. We also fixed a bug that was causing some storage rates to default to one day immediately.

There were also Lots of fixes and updates.

Today we release the ability for you to accept calls from Agero directly inside Towbook!

If your company is using the Towbook motor club feature, you can receive your calls on our new Accept/Reject screen inside Towbook. No matter what screen you’re on in Towbook, the new call “Accept/Reject” screen will appear for you as a pop-up message and an audible alert will sound, notifying you that a new call is available. All you have to do is accept or reject the call!

See an example of the new screen below.

If you don’t accept or reject the call within 4 minutes you will receive a phone call from an Agero Dispatcher – just like you do today.

The pop-up and audible alerts appear anywhere in Towbook – you can be in Accounts, Impounds, Reports or Settings and you will still receive the notification.

Once you accept the call, the job will be automatically added to the Towbook dispatching screen as a new call.

You also have the option to turn digital dispatching on or off. If digital dispatching is turned off then Agero knows to call you.

When motor clubs fax calls to your company,  Towbook now emails you a copy of that call (fax) as a PDF attachment – which is much easier to open from a mobile device.
