Wisconsin's home services dispatch platform

Zwivio

Zwivio is a Wisconsin home-service dispatch platform designed to coordinate how homeowners connect with local service pros — and how home-service businesses receive real 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 service business is confirmed for the job. No callback flood. No competing callbacks. Zwivio is currently onboarding home-service businesses across Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha counties. The Dispatch Network supports multiple trades, including heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, roofing, pest control, water heater, drain and sewer, appliance repair, garage door, water damage restoration, handyman, painting, and cleaning. For home-service businesses: job opportunities arrive by text. No app required to receive offers. No fee for viewing, declining, or missing an offer. Structured opportunities are routed based on service area, readiness, availability, and dispatch fit. Zwivio also offers Field Console and Field Console Pro to help service businesses manage jobs, customers, quotes, invoices, scheduling, and follow-up. For homeowners: contact details stay private until a service business is confirmed for the job. One coordinated request process replaces calling multiple businesses or managing competing callbacks. Need someone next Wednesday between noon and 4? Submit once — Zwivio works to find who is available for that window. Learn more at https://zwivio.com?utm_source=patch
