A method and system for unified secondary management of tow claims and salvage tow data, and specifically for simplifying the workflow of attending insurers, towers, and a manager (operator of an application service provider). The system is implemented in software form and includes an Insurance Company Module for allowing Clients to initiate tow dispatch orders into the system, a Tow Company Module for allowing towing vendors to view, execute and track tow dispatches assigned to them through the dispatch system, and a Management Module for allowing a third party Manager to manage the system, and to dispatch tow orders, track orders, approve completed orders for payment, and provide Client and Vendor account management, reports and performance tracking. Data extracted from all three modules is stored in a relational database and can readily be accessed by any of the three participants in real time, and may be edited and/or analyzed for reporting.
