About Code Carl Software

Code Carl Software LLC builds software for the skilled trades. It's run by a working electrician, and every product starts from a problem seen on an actual jobsite rather than a market study.

What we build

Fishtape
A contractor speaks or types a procedure once, and Fishtape turns it into a branded checklist app on their technicians' phones — check-offs, photos, signatures. Sold by active-app count.
Tailgate
One short jobsite-safety text per day to a contractor's crew — a real code-violation story and the lesson behind it, for the trade they work. Sold by crew size.

How the two products relate

This comes up often enough to answer plainly:

In one sentence, for forms and registrations that ask:

Tailgate is an SMS product built and operated by Code Carl Software LLC, sold at fishtapeapp.com alongside Fishtape, a separate product from the same company.

Who pays for what

In both products the customer is the contracting business. A technician never buys anything, never enters payment details, and is never charged. For Tailgate, a technician's only action is replying YES to opt in — or STOP to opt out. Standard message and data rates from their own carrier may apply.

Messaging and privacy

Tailgate is a recurring SMS program operated on a verified toll-free number. Consent is two-step: the purchasing business must tick a required, initially-empty consent box confirming it has each technician's permission, and then each technician must reply YES before any content is sent. Mobile opt-in and consent data is never shared with third parties for marketing. Details are in the Privacy Policy and Terms, and the full journey is laid out on How it works.
