We are rebuilding roadside recovery

The problem we are solving

Roadside recovery in the UK works against the people who actually do the job. Independent operators carry the trucks, the fuel, the insurance and the risk, then hand up to half of every fee to the network that dispatched it. Drivers, meanwhile, wait on hold with little idea of who is coming or when, and often do not know the price until the work is done.

Recovru rebuilds that relationship. Operators keep the large majority of every job and build their own name. Drivers see a live map, a real-time ETA and a price up front, and are not charged until they confirm the job is done.

How Recovru works

Recovru is an on-demand marketplace, closer to how you would order a ride than how traditional breakdown cover works. A driver requests help and is matched in real time to a nearby vetted operator. The driver tracks that operator on a live map and confirms them with an arrival code. The payment is held when the operator accepts and is taken only when the driver gives the completion code at the end of the job. Every operator keeps 80 percent of the job, with a flat and transparent platform fee and nothing hidden.

What we stand for

• Operators first: a fair share of every job, direct work, and a reputation you own.
• Transparency for drivers: a price up front, live tracking, and no charge until you give the completion code.
• Safety always: every operator clears identity, business and anti-money-laundering checks plus insurance verification before going online.
• Real data only: we do not publish invented metrics, fake reviews or numbers we cannot stand behind.

The technology

Recovru runs on a modern, real-time stack so dispatch, tracking and payments simply work. A single native app serves iOS and Android. Geo-matching and live tracking run on Postgres with PostGIS and real-time infrastructure. Routing and estimated arrival times use the Google Maps platform. Payments and fast operator payouts are handled through Stripe Connect, with funds held securely and released once the driver confirms the job is done.
