Developing People - Advancing Purpose
Training is only part of what we do. Since 2004, 1024 has been helping South African businesses solve real
operational problems, building the spreadsheets, dashboards, apps and systems that keep their teams
working. We don't just teach the software. We build with it.

What we do ?
Excel Solution
We extend Excel beyond what most teams think it can do. Pricing analysis models, automated quotation
systems, stock control systems and production control systems, built to fit how your business actually works,
not a generic template.
Dashboards and Reporting
Most of our clients want their reports in Excel because it's flexible, quick to learn, and easy for their own staff
to maintain once it's set up properly. We design the dashboard, train your team on it, and hand over
something they can actually own.
Project Plans
We deliver comprehensive, practical training on Microsoft Project and also help clients set up, improve, and
track their own plans. Our approach is grounded in the waterfall method but brings in Agile thinking where it
adds value. We've supported plans across mining, construction, engineering and manufacturing, as well as
our own training projects
Databases and Apps
Where a client needs more than a spreadsheet, we build it. Our work has included Microsoft Access
databases for vehicle and equipment maintenance, vehicle costing, project resource and cost tracking, and
learner tracking. We've also built our own internal business management app, TrainTrack, on Microsoft Power
Platform and Dataverse, and can do the same for your business.
Power Bl and Copilot
As Microsoft Certified Trainers working across the Al, security, and Power Platform tracks, we help
businesses move from spreadsheets to proper Power Bl reporting, and from manual work to Microsoft 365
Copilot and Al agents, without losing the parts Of their process that already work.
Assessments
Shawn is a constitutional assessor registered with MICT SETA. If your business needs a custom assessment
developed for internal use, we can build and deliver it.
Why clients come back to us
Every trainer at 1024 uses the software they teach in their own work, in the real world, not just in a classroom.
That's what lets us explain the "why" behind a feature, not just the "how", and it's why our development work
and our training work reinforce each other.
Let's talk about your business
Every business we've worked with has a slightly different problem. Tell us what's slowing your team down,
whether it's a spreadsheet that's outgrown itself, a report nobody trusts, or a process still living in someone's
head, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
