building everyday digital & trade capabilities for regional and rural WA communities
building connected digital & trade capabilities for regional and rural WA communities
We start where you are, and make operations more manageable.
Our CRM, finance accounting software and work design professionals move with you across office, floor and field, and help to recast your fragmented operations problems into practical, job-ready processes.
Driven by people who’ve run operations in the trade sector, Steadyhand is a small, experienced, tight-knit team that helps people across generations learn to use digital tools in their own workplaces according to best-practice methods. Unlike other online services aimed at trades, we take a robust place-based approach in working with businesses in our local community to ultimately strengthen individual, organisational and social capabilities.
In particular, we support regional Western Australian trade businesses and organisations who want to build:
-
stronger, safer workmanship cultures across teams
-
data-driven decision-making
-
better profitability in early (0-5 years), mature (5-30+ years) and legacy transitions
These days, we routinely get asked to assist trade businesses to deliver a growing list of services.
Where we excel is in combining services like CRM customisation, accounting integrations, data governance, compliance assessments & staff IT training into streamlined trade operations updates. Contact us today for a free 30-min consultation to find which services are most suited to you.
Steadyhand oversaw a structural transformation in operations for my business over a six month period from July 2025 to January 2026. That transformation took Margaret River Re-Gutters from a solid owner-operator-run business with two-to-three sub-contractors toward a steaming small business with two teams of three workers. Part of that transformation involved launching a sister company, Busselton Re-Gutters, according to the scaling and value-capture goals we co-designed together.
From the get-go, Steadyhand developed sensitive ways of creating processes from the ground up across worksites, office and client comms, but they were also great at recognising and supporting my intuitions as an owner-operator going through a period of change.
Setting new goals in business is always a wild ride, but the roadmap Steadyhand confidently designed and implemented for us - including staged release and testing of our custom CRM-build with Monday.com, CPQ and sales funnel build-out, scheduling and briefing tools for site operations, compliance measures and documentation, performance analytics, print and digital marketing campaigns, and more - meant the ride was controlled, data-driven and milestoned along the way. Not only did we achieve our ROI expectations, but I was able to come at my business from a new perspective, less on the tools and more in a position of strategic leadership over the direction and feel of our services.
I recommend Steadyhand wholeheartedly as digital operations professionals.
