Why GoodFolk

Made for the way your shop already works.

We’ve spent years running industrial shops, juggling phone lists, paper and union rules with tools that weren’t built for any of it. So we’re building the ones we always wanted. No fluff, no nonsense. Just software that saves you time.

We’ve been in your boots

Years of running rail and industrial shops taught us where the time really goes. Every tool we build starts there.

Works the way you do

Seniority lists, collective agreements, the way your shop runs. Our tools fit around all of it, so nobody has to change how they work.

Simple by design

If it takes a manual to figure out, we haven’t done our job. Our tools are built to make sense the first time you use them.

We actually listen

Our tools grow from real feedback from real crews. Tell us what’s slowing you down and we’ll build for it.

Our take on AI

Useful, not trendy.

AI is a great tool, and we’ll use it when it’s the right one. But it has to earn its place. If something simpler works better, we’ll build it that way.

Who we are

Built from the shop floor up.

GoodFolk was started by Colin Laurencelle, who spent 15 years running industrial shops. Along the way he worked alongside some of the best people around: mechanics, supervisors and crews doing real work, day and night. We love technology and we love the trades, and there’s something special about good tech making life easier for the folks swinging the hammer. That’s why we started GoodFolk: simple tools that stop good people from wasting time in dumb ways.
