What Qualex Consulting Services does

Qualex Consulting Services is a privately held IT consulting and vertical-specific analytics software firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, with an additional engineering and data science delivery center in Hyderabad, India. The company develops and resells the iQ Solutions suite — over 14 domain-specific software products targeting gaming and casino (iQ-Gaming, iQ-AML, iQ-Surveillance), sports (iQ-Sports, iQ-Fan), healthcare (iQ-Health View), hospitality (iQ-Hospitality, iQ-Guest), retail (iQ-Retail), and cross-industry operations (iQ-Console, iQ-Migrate, iQ-Mobile, iQ-Staffing, iQ-Training) — built on a multivendor architecture integrating SAS, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Snowflake, Tableau, and other enterprise platforms. Core iQ products embed predictive analytics for patron/fan behavior modeling, AML surveillance, customer churn, product propensity, demand forecasting, and price optimization, delivered alongside consulting and managed services.

The firm monetizes through a mix of professional services (fixed-cost, time-and-materials, hybrid, retainer, multi-year enterprise contracts), proprietary iQ Solutions product sales, SaaS-style subscriptions, software resale (SAS, Tableau), staff augmentation, offshore dedicated development teams, and digital marketing services. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 companies, government agencies (via GSA Schedule), and global industry leaders across 20+ verticals including gaming/hospitality, sports, financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, retail, and oil/gas/utilities. Notable customers include the U.S. Census Bureau, Hard Rock Las Vegas, New York Mets, Major League Soccer, Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic, Foxwoods, Seminole Gaming, Orange Dominicana, and Pearl River Resort, with multi-year relationships (MLS since 2012, NY Mets since 2015) and reference testimonials characterizing Qualex as a strategic partner rather than a transactional vendor. Qualex is led by co-founder and CEO Clive J. Pearson and co-founder and CTO Michael Gilman, both M.Sc. Computer Science graduates of McGill University, supported by President Carla Datorre and a broader team of 567 claimed skilled experts including SAS-certified, cloud-certified, and analytics-certified professionals; the firm has been a SAS Gold Partner since 2002 and has received multiple SAS Reseller of the Year and Field Choice awards.
