Take private property tows off the phone lines
Aries Private Property Impound (PPI) by Autura replaces phone calls with real-time digital reporting. Tow operators submit notifications from the field, residents look up towed vehicles online, and agencies receive automated compliance checks and stolen vehicle cross-referencing in one place, cutting dispatch call volume while providing full oversight.
The call becomes a quick form-fill.
The rest takes care of itself.
Four steps. No phone line involved, from the tow operator's notification to the resident finding their own car.

PPI clears private property tows. The full suite streamlines every tow.
The Aries suite connects each towing stage so a vehicle's record follows it from the roadside to the impound lot —
and your team isn't re-keying the same data into disconnected systems.
Aries Dispatch
Digital tow requests, automatic rotation assignment, and live status updates and ETAs from the roadside.
Aries Impound
Centralized vehicle storage, fee processing, and compliant lien and notification workflows from a single system.
Aries PPI
Digital tow notifications, faster vehicle clearance, and self-serve vehicle lookup — without the phone calls.
AWS GovCloud (US)
Aries runs exclusively on AWS GovCloud (US), the cloud infrastructure built to meet the compliance requirements of U.S. government agencies. Because so many infrastructure-level security validations are already handled through AWS authorizations, agencies can move through procurement faster and carry less of the compliance burden themselves. Aries Private Property Impound (PPI) is also available through AWS Marketplace, which can further simplify purchasing.
Common questions. Quick answers.
No. Aries PPI is sold as a stand-alone product and solves the private property tow notification problem by itself. It also connects to Aries Dispatch and Aries Impound if you want to run your whole towing program on one system. You can start with just PPI and add the rest whenever you're ready.
Tow providers submit notifications through a digital form they complete from a phone or a desk. No calling or faxing your agency. The notification arrives in Aries — complete and structured, so your staff isn't transcribing anything.
The Public Portal is a self-serve lookup where a resident can locate their towed vehicle and get the tow company's contact and pickup details. It's meant to take the "did you tow my car" calls off your lines.
It's usually more volume than agencies think, because the cost is buried in phone time rather than tracked anywhere. Every repo and trespass tow that comes in as a 5 to 7 minute call adds up across a year. Most agencies don't see the total until they add it up, which is something we can walk through with your actual numbers on a demo.
No. It feeds it. Staff still run the check through your standard operating procedure, but they're working from clean, complete data instead of what someone read off over the phone. From there they clear the vehicle for tow or flag it for investigation or hold.
