The digital accessibility software market can be distilled into 5 categories:
- Full-Site Accessibility Monitoring Platforms
- Overlays and Accessibility Widgets
- Developer Testing Tools
- Quick-Check Browser Extensions
- Multi-Function Site Checkers
Accessibility Tracker fits into none of them.
Accessibility Tracker is an audit-based platform that tracks full WCAG conformance and has AI to help your team make fixes faster and complete projects sooner.
All of the platform essentials are in place:
- analytics
- data visualizations
- progress reports
- assign team members
- prioritize issues
- track issues
- comment log
But the foundation of Tracker makes difference: Tracker is an audit-based platform.
In terms of WCAG conformance and compliance, this is everything — this means we can accurately track or progress; none of the data is skewed.
In comparison, every other software and platform is premised upon (and even boasts) automation, but we cannot automate digital accessibility. 100% scan scores are not evidence of compliance. They’re evidence of 100% score on a scan.
| Key Differentiator | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Audit-Based Foundation | Track real WCAG conformance progress based on comprehensive audit data, not incomplete scan results that miss 75% of issues |
| Integrated Real AI | 5 pre-prompted AI tools inside each issue help developers fix problems faster without leaving the platform or crafting prompts |
| Compliance Documentation | Generate audit trails that withstand legal scrutiny with timestamped actions, validation records, and progress reports |
| Enterprise Workflows | Assign issues to specific teams, track validation, and get cross-project analytics without spreadsheet management |

Strong Compliance Documentation
Accessibility Tracker starts where other platforms cannot: with comprehensive audit data that identifies every WCAG issue. Upload your Excel audit report from any provider and Tracker extracts all issues, recommendations, and technical details automatically.
This audit foundation transforms accessibility and compliance tracking. Where scan-based platforms show metrics from “automated testing”, Tracker displays actual conformance progress. Each issue includes location, applicable code, WCAG criterion, and auditor recommendations. Every status update creates a timestamped record. When legal teams request documentation or procurement demands documentation of WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, you have evidence that reflects reality.
The difference becomes clear during validation. Auditors validate fixes directly in the platform, creating an unbroken chain from issue identification through remediation to confirmation. No scattered emails. No version control confusion. Just clear documentation that satisfies regulators, settlement requirements, and internal compliance teams.
Clean Enterprise Workflows
Digital accessibility spans multiple teams. Tracker accommodates this complexity without creating it.
Developers filter to see only code issues assigned to them. Designers view color contrast and visual problems. Content teams focus on captions and alt text. Each person works through their queue without distraction from unrelated issues.
Project managers see everything differently. They get cross-project analytics showing total issues across websites, mobile apps, and web applications. Progress visualizations reveal which projects need resources. Monthly reports document advancement toward conformance.
Two prioritization formulas eliminate guesswork about what to fix first. The risk factor formula ranks issues by lawsuit frequency, drawn from analysis of hundreds of ADA website complaints. The user impact formula scores issues by accessibility barriers created. Teams know exactly where to focus based on their compliance objectives.
Efficiency with Compounding Interest
Traditional accessibility projects can start sluggish because of coordination. Teams email spreadsheets back and forth. Issues get discussed in meetings, documented in chat, tracked in disconnected systems. Version control fails. Communication gaps emerge. Projects stall.
Tracker removes these friction points systematically. All team members work from the same real-time dashboard. Issue assignments happen with one click. Status updates are instant. The comment log preserves all discussion and notes for every issue so no the latest revision logs are kept.
The efficiency gains compound. Tracker creates so much efficiency that it’s entirely realistic to complete a project in 4 weeks that previously took 10. When you start stacking time savings, issue being fixed and validated sooner, project momentum, the gains quickly aggregate — especially over the course of multiple projects.
AI Inside Your Workflow
Tracker extracts your audit data for super powerful AI assistance. This is actual, real AI helping your team with fixes in real time.
AI can’t automate remediation, but it really does help.
This means your team is no longer copying issue details into ChatGPT. They’re not writing and re-writing prompts to get help.
All they have to do is click “Analyze with AI” on any issue and AI is right in the dashboard to help them fix every single issue. AI assistance makes an enormous difference because now your team doesn’t have to be an accessibility expert to make fixes correctly the first time. What’s also beautiful is they’re getting experiential accessibility training specifically for issues on your organization’s digital assets.
Here are the AI tools inside of Tracker:
- Simplify and Explain translates technical WCAG requirements into plain English. Developers new to accessibility understand immediately what needs fixing and why.
- Detailed Technical Answer provides code examples specific to your issue. Not generic documentation—actual implementation code for your situation.
- Alternative Approaches offers different remediation methods when standard fixes conflict with existing functionality.
- WCAG Standards explains the success criterion requirements and their importance for users.
- Custom Analysis answers specific questions that don’t fit other categories.
Again, ach tool knows your issue’s context from the uploaded audit. The AI understands your specific code, the WCAG criterion involved, and the auditor’s recommendations. This contextual intelligence saves hours per project that would otherwise go to research or technical support.
Starting Without the Learning Curve
Most enterprise platforms require extensive onboarding. Administrators spend days configuring workflows. Teams need training sessions. Consultants customize implementations.
Tracker works immediately. Upload your audit spreadsheet. Map columns if needed. Start fixing issues. The interface guides naturally from project overview to individual issues to AI assistance.
Insights
Accessibility Tracker represents a fundamental shift in how enterprises manage WCAG conformance. By building on audit data instead of scans, every metric reflects actual accessibility status. The platform eliminates project management overhead while integrated AI accelerates remediation.
The combination of accurate tracking, efficient workflows, and contextual AI assistance has the capability transform a 10-week projects into 4-week completions. For enterprises facing compliance deadlines, procurement requirements, or settlement agreements, Tracker provides the documentation and efficiency that spreadsheets and scan-based platforms cannot match.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Tracker differ from scan-based accessibility platforms?
Tracker works from comprehensive audit reports that identify all WCAG issues through manual evaluation. Scan-based platforms only flag approximately 25% of issues. This means Tracker’s analytics and progress reports reflect actual conformance status, not partial scan results.
Can we use Tracker with audit reports from any provider?
Yes. Upload any Excel audit report and Tracker extracts the data automatically. If column headers don’t match exactly, you can map them during upload. The platform works with audit reports from Accessible.org or any other provider.
How does issue prioritization work?
Two formulas provide instant prioritization. The risk factor formula ranks issues by lawsuit frequency based on analysis of ADA website complaints. The user impact formula scores issues by accessibility barriers using a weighted system considering blocking severity, workaround availability, and affected populations.
Can multiple teams work on the same project simultaneously?
Yes. Assign issues to specific team members who can filter to see only their tasks. Designers work on visual issues while developers fix code problems. All updates happen in real-time with no version control problems.
What validation features does Tracker include?
Auditors validate fixes directly in the platform. They mark issues as validated or needing more work, with comments attached to specific issues. This creates an audit trail from issue identification through remediation to confirmation.
How quickly can we start using Tracker?
Immediately. Sign up, upload your audit spreadsheet, and begin tracking issues. No implementation period, training sessions, or configuration required. The interface guides you naturally through the workflow.
