Field Console & Dispatch Network Guide

A practical guide to joining the Dispatch Network, setting up Field Console, receiving offers, managing assigned work, billing, compliance, texts, and support.

Guide status

Current operating guide for service-business onboarding. Last updated July 26, 2026. Content should be reviewed as Zwivio onboarding, Field Console, and service-business support workflows evolve.

How to use this guide

This guide covers how Zwivio works from the service-business side — joining, Field Console, offers, assigned jobs, readiness, billing, texts, and support. It is written for owners, dispatchers, and technicians.

For owners

Use it to understand setup, readiness, coverage, billing, and what to expect from the platform day to day.

For dispatchers

Use it to understand offers, pending homeowner approval, job handoff, text behavior, and where to look in Field Console.

For technicians

Use it to understand My Work, assigned jobs, trip updates, completion, and how technician access differs from owner or dispatcher access.

Start here

Zwivio sends you job offers directly — no shared leads, no competing bids. This guide explains how everything works from day one.

  • Homeowners request service through Zwivio. When a request matches your services, service area, and availability, Zwivio may send your business a controlled job offer with its own response window.
  • This guide covers the full service-business experience: joining, setting up Field Console, receiving and responding to offers, managing jobs, and getting support.
  • Homeowner contact details are shared with you after you accept an offer and the job is confirmed — not before.

Joining Zwivio

Joining Zwivio usually takes about ten minutes. You submit your business and service details, then Zwivio reviews the setup before your service business account is activated for Field Console and future job offers.

After You're Approved

Approval means Zwivio has reviewed your onboarding information and set up your service business account for Field Console. Before your first offer arrives, a few setup and market factors can affect when your business starts seeing opportunities.

Read more

Field Console

Field Console is your day-to-day workspace for Zwivio work. It is where your team reviews offers, manages active jobs, keeps dispatch status current, updates availability and service coverage, and checks billing, compliance, team, notifications, and performance.

Read more

Roles and team access

Zwivio supports three team roles: Owner, Dispatcher, and Technician. Each role is designed around the kind of work that person handles in Field Console.

Read more

Dispatch status

Dispatch status shows whether Zwivio can currently consider your business for job offers.

Read more

Compliance documents

Zwivio uses compliance documents to confirm that your business is properly set up for dispatched work. Keeping your license and insurance records current helps avoid interruptions in dispatch status.

Read more

Offers

When a homeowner request fits your service area, job types, availability, and dispatch status, Zwivio may send your business a controlled job offer. You can review the offer and respond by text or through Field Console.

Read more

Homeowner approval

Some offers require homeowner approval after you accept. In those cases, the job is not assigned until the homeowner approves and Zwivio sends assignment confirmation.

Read more

Jobs and technicians

A confirmed assignment becomes an active job. From there, your team manages field execution, technician assignment, updates, and completion through Field Console.

Read more

Coverage and availability

Coverage and availability tell Zwivio where your business works, which services and request types you want to handle, and whether your team is currently available for offers.

Read more

Billing and credits

Field Console tools used to receive and manage Zwivio-assigned Dispatch Network work do not require a subscription. A platform fee applies only when a job is officially assigned to your business.

Read more

Texts and email

Zwivio uses text, email, and the Field Console notification center to keep your team informed. Time-sensitive offer and job updates may arrive by text when your dispatch phone and text consent are set up.

Read more

Text Command Reference

Zwivio texts expect short, structured replies. Swap the sample job numbers below for the two- or three-digit code shown on your actual offer.

Read more

Performance and ROI

Field Console gives your business a practical view of how Zwivio activity is trending over time. Use this page to understand offer volume, response activity, assigned work, platform fees, credits, job history, and recent activity.

Account Standing

Good standing on Zwivio comes down to practical operating habits: accurate availability, timely offer responses, realistic acceptance decisions, clear communication, current account records, and professional completion of assigned work.

Support paths

If something goes wrong with a job or your account, Zwivio has clear paths for disputes, general support, and referrals.
