Earning varies with location, normally an owner makes in a range of $25,000 – $40,000 per year. A roadside assistance technician’s salary varies from $11/hr to $14/hr.

HONK, AAA and Urgent.ly, Strand(India), Morni(Saudi Arabia) are the most popular roadside assistance apps globally.

Towing business is basically helping a traveler who for some reasons is in trouble and needs assistance that can be of various types. For example, suppose you are traveling on a road in your car and suddenly your car’s tire gets inflated. This is where a roadside assistant will come and help you and in return he will charge you a certain amount. In the present times, the business of Towing has taken a new surge and has become an area of investment from curious investors.

Customer Care Service

Mobile Vehicle – A mobile vehicle can be any van or similar vehicle that can accommodate two people and the equipment required for use.

It would be advisable that you have more than one vehicle so that if two people call for help at the same time you can assist both in the same time. This will help you in catering better services.

The cost to develop an Uber-like towing software app varies in regions. In the US, developers will charge anywhere between $50 and $200 per hour, while it would be between $20 and $100 per hour in Europe. Meanwhile, developers in India will charge about $10-$30 per hour for a similar app with all the features mentioned above.

Therefore, a rough estimate for developing a tow-truck booking application for a single platform, either Android or iOS, can cost between $10,000 and $20,000. And for developing a cross-platform application, you may need to shell out up to $45,000.

We sign NDA with our clients to ensure we don’t disclose their idea to anybody else. We usually have a product road map and all our products have a rate card that details what features we have on them and what are coming out soon. Anything outside that list can be protected with an NDA that we readily agree to sign. Therefore, your idea is perfectly safe with us.

We provide free patches for bugs on our core products for a year after purchase. These patches are supplied via GIT pushes to your source code repository. We however don’t do the actual code merge etc for you as that would cost us man hours.

We have paid support plans available. We know our apps best so for most of our customers it makes a lot of sense to hire our team for support. We have different support packages available depending on the SLA required ( Service Level Agreements).

Logically thinking if you do buy our app and you want to customize it, there is no better team than ours to do it for you since we have developed all the underlying base code.

We have the biggest range of pre-built business applications in the market that cover several business models. We built all these products with the sole aim of reducing time to market and cost to market for our customers.

On average it costs over $100,000 to build most of these products that we have, so using them as a base to build your customized business idea will definitely bring your costs and time down significantly.

Most custom software development companies pitch you a full project plan to develop a product from scratch, a process that might take months and cost you pot loads of money, where-as we pull something out from our repotriotire, customize it and voila we have you a product in let’s say 60 days 🙂

In case you do have an idea that is not similar to any of our pre-built products we can surely develop something totally custom, from scratch for you. We will try to re-use some of the micro-services and reusable software components to do some rapid application development.

We have done this successfully for large corporations who have raised multi million dollars in venture capital funds. Our team comes with a strong technical expertise in a broad range of technologies that cover:

1. API Development – GoLang, Node.JS, Python, Elixir (Erlang)
2. App Development – iOS ( Swift, Objective C) , Android (Java, Kotlin), Flutter, React Native
3. Web Application Development – React.JS, AngularJS 9.0, Next.JS, Vue.JS
4. Data Science & Analytics – Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Hadoop
5. Blockchain- Hyperledger
6. Desktop Application – Electron JS

The major costs involved for running applications of such nature are as follows:

1. Server costs for hosting the API’s and Database – A decent configuration on AWS / Azure / Google / Digitalocean will cost you anywhere between $150-$200/month.
2. Content Delivery Network – Apps such as these require the content to be delivered seamlessly with low latency and low bandwidth consumption. We use a CDN to ensure we are doing image / video transformations to maintain content quality at different network speeds and different devices.
3. Text messages for verification codes – We generally use Twilio for sending text messages. The price for this depends on the country and can be tracked here @ https://www.twilio.com/pricing.
4. Transactional emails – We generally use services like Sendgrid, Mailgun or Amazon SES for sending transactional emails. All these services usually have a free tier that should hold good for new apps.
5. SSL – We secure all our apps via a Wildcard SSL certificate that secures all sub domains for a particular domain name. This is important for security. A pretty affordable place to get one will be here @ https://www.ssl2buy.com/alphassl-wildcard.php
6. Cloudflare – We use Cloudflare as a firewall and also often to manage the domain. It has a free tier and that usually is good enough. If under attack like maybe a DDOS attack , Cloudflare can prove to be a pretty solid first layer of defence.
7. Google Map API – We use google map api’s for tagging locations with a post and also for sharing locations inside the chat. A google map API key with billing enabled is required to use this service.
8. Apple Developer Account – An apple developer account is required to host the app under your name. An account costs $99/year. Individual accounts are pretty easy to create but if you need the app to show under your company name then you will need to apply for a company account and that requires a DUNS number that you will need to first acquire to get listed as a developer with apple. Follow steps here @ https://learn.buildfire.com/en/articles/477266-how-to-create-an-apple-developer-account-and-enroll-in-the-program
9. Google Play Developer Account – A google play developer account is required to host an app under your name / your company’s name on the Android play store. This costs $25 one time. You can get a google play developer account here @ https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/#EnterDetailsPlace.
10. Domain Name – A domain name is required to host the API’s / website etc. A domain name can be bought from sources like GoDaddy etc. Price of a domain name really depends on its availability etc.
