Jobsite software, built by an electrician.

Code Carl Software LLC makes two tools for trade contractors who run a crew. Each one solves a problem that shows up on a real jobsite, and each one is sold on its own — you can buy either without the other.

Fishtape
Say a procedure once. Fishtape turns it into a branded checklist app on your technicians' phones — check-offs, photos, signatures. From $49/mo.
Tailgate
One 60-second jobsite-safety text to your crew every day. A real code-violation story and the lesson behind it. No app, no login. From $9/mo.

Two products, one company

Fishtape and Tailgate are separate products from the same developer. Neither is a feature of the other, and neither requires the other. They share this website because they serve the same person — a contractor with technicians in the field. Fishtape came first, so the site carries its name.
