The Towing Network Chooses TowPartners to Provide Search and Software Services

Keller, TX, March 16, 2010 -- TowPartners today announced that it has partnered with The Towing Network to provide search and software services. The Towing Network operates a nationwide call center located in Brunswick, Ohio, that assists motor carriers in locating towing and recovery service providers. The Towing Network has chosen the new, expanded version of towSearch Commercial from towPartners to assist in building its network of service providers as well as to manage work orders and to connect the motor carriers and towing companies through web portals to create new efficiencies in towing dispatch. The towSearch Commercial product (www.towsearch.com) was specifically designed for commercial clients and utilizes the highly developed towPartners database system.

The nation’s leading towing and road service provider locator tool, towSearch, is used to power this solution, and over 28,000 companies are currently listed on towSearch Commercial. Dozens and often hundreds of member updates are received daily at towPartners and results of these updates keep the system accurate, making it a reliable resource for all of the commercial fleet customers across the United States.

“We are proud to have been selected by The Towing Network for both software services and to provide search support from among our membership base,” stated Jeffrey Godwin, Vice President of towPartners. “Our members are the best of the best in the towing and recovery industry and we are glad to bring them new business opportunities from a partner who is also committed to working ‘For the Industry.’ I know The Towing Network will be pleased with our systems and with our members.”

The towSearch directory of companies is just the beginning of the commercial version which also allows users to learn more about towPartners members and to make more informed selections of service providers. Through secure logins, the users of towSearch Commercial can view significantly more information about service providers than the public tool displays. Additionally, these users can store provider notes, select preferred providers, keep ratings and have access to full work order management. The tool offers connectivity for the motor carrier to monitor the status of their own jobs and many other features that provide benefit to all involved parties.

“towPartners has a large industry presence and though some of the members are already a part of The Towing Network, we expect this partnership can solidify our presence nationwide,” commented Jeff St. Pierre, President of The Towing Network. “We are excited about the software tool and are even more pleased to already be working with the quality members of towPartners as service providers for the work we are doing today.”

The Towing Network is actively looking for partner towing companies with a solid reputation and ability to serve large motor carrier customers with heavy duty towing, recovery and road service. The Towing Network was established through a strong collaboration of motor carrier executives and some of the best towers in the industry. They were able to build a program that serves the needs of both groups. Members of towPartners are encouraged to update their member profiles immediately because many new data fields have recently been added to support this effort and the members can request more information directly from their update forms.
