When IntelliQA was founded, we weren't a product company. We were a consultancy – a specialist team helping organisations navigate complex technology landscapes.
That consultancy-first DNA led us to some of IntelliQA's earliest partnerships, including Worldpay, which is still IntelliQA's longest-standing client. It was during a consultancy engagement with them that we were asked a deceptively simple question: "How would you approach automated testing for this?"
IntelliQA's answer wasn't just advice. It was the blueprint for what became one of the industry's most advanced and trusted testing solutions, and a great partnership with Abrantix (Now PaytestLab) was formed. Word spread, and more clients came for help with their automation journey. Soon, IntelliQA became synonymous with automated testing, especially within the fuel market when we brought out IntelliQA's Fuel Payment Test Robot.
But that's not the whole story.
Over the years, as we delivered automation at scale for global brands like Shell, Staples, and Albertsons, one truth became clear—the clients who saw the greatest success weren't just buying a tool or a robot. They benefited from IntelliQA's consultancy expertise: IntelliQA's ability to see the bigger picture, integrate technology into complex ecosystems, and align delivery with strategic goals.
So today, we're coming full circle. Automation remains a flagship capability, but it now sits within a broader strategic consultancy offering designed for organisations and system integrators who need more than just testing. They need guidance, assurance, and transformation.
What are IntelliQA's bonus offerings?
Building on IntelliQA's automation expertise, IntelliQA now offers a broader portfolio of consultancy services designed for the realities of today's mission-critical, multi-vendor projects. Whether you are a system integrator delivering at scale or an enterprise technology leader overseeing complex deployments, we provide the strategy, governance, and assurance you need to deliver with confidence.
Strategic Test Consultancy
We design testing strategies that align with your business objectives, regulatory requirements, and operational constraints, not just with your tech stack. This ensures that every release, integration, and upgrade delivers value, not just code.
Test Automation Consultancy
Automation is still at the heart of what we do. We help clients assess, implement, and scale automation frameworks that are fit for purpose, sustainable, and measurable, whether for POS, payment, or Fuel Retail environments.
Fuel Retailing Consultancy
Fuel retail systems present unique operational and compliance challenges. IntelliQA's specialist knowledge helps you reduce risk, meet regulations, and keep operations running smoothly from the forecourt to the back office.
Software Administration as a Service (SaaS)
Test tooling can be powerful, but only if properly configured, maintained, and optimised. We take on that responsibility, so your team can focus on delivery rather than administration.

There are plenty of testing and consultancy providers out there. But IntelliQA offers something different, a rare blend of strategic insight and practical delivery expertise.
