Tow Truck

Dispatch tows, send ETAs, and manage roadside assistance calls — all from WhatsApp.

Tow truck operators live in a world of urgency. When someone’s car breaks down on the side of a highway at 11 PM, they need help now — not in 30 minutes, not after you check your voicemail. The speed of your response literally determines whether you get the job or the next company on the list does.

You’re hooking up a car on one side of town when a stranded driver calls from across the city. You can’t answer with a cable in your hands and a car on the flatbed. By the time you call back, they’ve already got another truck en route. That $150 tow just went to your competitor.

Between emergency dispatch, location coordination, upfront pricing, ETA updates, and payment collection, tow truck work is fast-paced communication nonstop. Nalo handles it through WhatsApp — stranded drivers get instant ETAs, pricing is confirmed before you arrive, and payment links go out the moment the car is delivered.

The challenges you face

speed

Every minute matters

A stranded driver is stressed and scared. If you don't respond in minutes, they'll call the next tow company.

location_on

Location confusion

Clients don't know their exact location. They say 'I'm on the highway near the big sign' and you're guessing.

attach_money

Price disputes on arrival

The client thought the tow would be $80 but it's $150 because of the distance. Without upfront pricing, there's always tension.
