RapidDeploy Selects AutoReturn as Integration Partner for Towing Rotation Management within Nimbus

AUSTIN, Texas, June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --  Today RapidDeploy, the industry's leading cloud-native emergency response platform, announced a long-term strategic agreement to integrate AutoReturn's industry-leading cloud-based law enforcement towing solution as a feature of the RapidDeploy Nimbus Cloud Aided Dispatch platform. 

"AutoReturn is thrilled to partner with RapidDeploy, a like-minded, tech-driven company that shares our vision of keeping citizens and law enforcement officers safe," said Carl Bane, AutoReturn's Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. "Both of our solutions drastically reduce the response times to send critically needed services to officers in the field. We are excited to offer our technology and services to RapidDeploy's Nimbus customers and work with RapidDeploy on further enhancing public safety's ability to dispatch in a more efficient manner, saving precious time and resources needed for higher priority police work."

Under the agreement, RapidDeploy customers can utilize AutoReturn's tow rotation platform (AutoReturn Integrated Enterprise System – ARIES) as part of the Nimbus product. Additionally, citizens can easily locate their towed and impounded vehicle using AutoReturn's web-based portal. Customers can expand their capabilities to include AutoReturn's industry-leading technology and managed services offering for the full life cycle of towing and impound operations.

AutoReturn is the leader in transforming towing and impoundment for city, county and state agencies with a goal to foster safer communities by keeping roadways moving to create a better citizen experience.

AutoReturn has enabled over 35 city, county and states to reduce the administration and complexity of towing management and dispatched over 3.5 million tows on its platform. 

AutoReturn joins RapidDeploy's Ecosystem of cloud-native solutions for public safety and will be included as part of the Lightning Partner Network. Lightning Partners share with RapidDeploy a vision of how public safety can leverage data when we work together to break down the silos between technologies and create a unified platform to share data and collaborate together for the benefit of public safety.
