Vehicle towing
Providing the “Vehicle towing” service via IO makes it possible for institutions to:
- update citizens in real time and therefore allow them to pay for the fees for the towing or impounding of their vehicles;
- reduce the times and costs for the process of notification and delivery of the fine;
- speed up the times for recovering the vehicle if it was impounded or towed.
