Case Study: Goodfellow cuts downtime and improves audit readiness with Coast

Goodfellow cuts downtime by 30% with Coast

Goodfellow, a Canadian lumber manufacturer, faced a challenge in proving its preventive maintenance was completed across multiple facilities. With maintenance data siloed in handwritten binders, the company struggled with visibility and could not reliably verify work for annual audits. To solve this, they implemented a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) from vendor Coast.

Using Coast, Goodfellow created a centralized, digital system of record with audit-ready timestamps. The solution included building an asset library and using QR codes for over 900 assets across three plants. This provided real-time visibility and shifted maintenance from reactive to proactive. As a result, Coast helped Goodfellow cut equipment downtime by 25-30% and pass audits with confidence.
