Alerter Features

Windshieldink ALERTER allows you to post vehicle alerts online and allows the Windshieldink mobile app to access that database. Alerts can be posted for stolen vehicles, missing trailers, hit and run events, or emergency amber alert situations. When using the Windshieldink mobile app, a person enters a vehicle license plate and our automatic verification step will check the ALERTER database. If the vehicle is flagged as an alert, the user will get an in-app notification with information on who to contact about that vehicle. They can then send an in-app email message directly to the responsible organization, that can optionally contain their contact information and GPS location.
