Qplus

What Qplus does

QPlus for Inspection and Quality Solutions is a Bahrain-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1999 that operates as a quality infrastructure consultancy across the MENA region. The company delivers three integrated service lines: management systems consulting (ISO implementation, EFQM Excellence Model, HR solutions, PMC leadership coaching, and psychometric assessments via Thomas International), audit and inspection services (Smart Industry Readiness Index assessments, internal and external audits, product and service inspections, and market surveillance on behalf of regulatory and governmental bodies), and accredited training solutions delivered through in-class, live online, and self-paced eLearning formats. Core technology is domain expertise and partner-certified methodology rather than a proprietary platform; the digital layer is a WooCommerce e-commerce storefront for self-study ISO courses and a Calendly-driven consultation funnel.

The business model blends quote-based professional services with publicly priced training SKUs. Consulting and audit work is priced per engagement on multi-year contracts; training revenue is generated through per-course fees in Bahraini Dinar (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation self-study at 190 BHD, ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor self-study at 350 BHD), with lead auditor and lead implementer programs typically priced higher. The go-to-market is sales-led and consulting-led, with direct enterprise engagement across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman, supplemented by partner channels through PECB (a core training partner) and regional collaborators including INCIT, BIPA, DHIC, PMC Coaching, Amplify Innovation, Injazi, and Bakkah. Marketing relies on content (blog, category-organized course catalogue), organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X), email newsletters, and bottom-of-funnel Calendly booking. The company claims 100+ clients, 5,000+ trainees, and 150+ projects completed over its 25-year history, but does not disclose revenue, headcount, or ownership details.

• DEKRA: DEKRA is a global TIC firm providing ISO certification, audits, and management systems training — overlapping with QPlus's core services and competing for enterprise and government mandates in MENA.
• TÜV Rheinland: TÜV Rheinland operates a global testing, inspection, and certification practice including ISO management systems audits and training — directly comparable to QPlus's audit, inspection, and ISO training services.
• TÜV SÜD: TÜV SÜD is a large global TIC firm offering ISO certification, management systems auditing, and training programs — overlapping directly with QPlus's audit and ISO training portfolio but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
