Wisconsin's heating and cooling dispatch platform

Zwivio

Zwivio is a Wisconsin heating and cooling dispatch platform designed to coordinate how homeowners connect with local contractors — and how contractors receive job opportunities. Instead of broadly distributing a homeowner's contact details as a lead, Zwivio coordinates requests through a governed dispatch process. Homeowner contact information is not released until a contractor is confirmed for the job. No callback flood. No competing callbacks. Zwivio is currently onboarding heating and cooling contractors across Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha counties ahead of opening homeowner intake. For contractors: job opportunities arrive by text. No app required. No commission fees. Structured opportunities based on service area, readiness, and availability. For homeowners: when intake opens, contact details stay private until a contractor is confirmed for the job. One coordinated request process instead of managing multiple callbacks. Need someone next Wednesday between noon and 4? Submit once — Zwivio finds who's available for that window. Learn more at https://zwivio.com?utm_source=patch

WAUKESHA, WI -- A standoff between local police and a man threatening self-harm with knives was resolved peacefully Thursday after crisis workers were called to the Sendik's parking lot. Waukesha police responded to the parking lot of Sendik's just before 9 p.m. on Dec. 13 on a report of a 29-year-old man who was under the influence of narcotics and was threatening self-harm. According to police reports, the man was driven to the Sendik's parking lot by his father, who then called police and fled the area with his son inside the car. Police told Patch that the man refused to exit his vehicle for several hours, and threatened to harm himself with several large knives he had in the vehicle. Police said crisis negotiators were called to the scene to assist, and within 45 minutes convinced him to exit the car without the knives. He was taken into custody and transported to Waukesha Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He was taken into protective custody with mental health issues. File Photo
