Accessibility Tracker is the new platform that tracks every accessibility issue identified in an audit report through remediation, validation, and full WCAG conformance. It imports audit data, organizes issues by page or screen, applies Risk Factor or User Impact prioritization formulas, and keeps project status current for the entire team. The platform replaces spreadsheets, email threads, and fragmented tools with one system built specifically for accessibility work.
The result is a cleaner path from audit report to conformance, with AI assistance that helps developers move through fixes faster and project managers report progress with confidence.
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Audit Import | Upload an audit report spreadsheet and the platform structures every issue automatically. |
| Issue Tracking | Each issue gets a status, owner, WCAG reference, and location on the page or screen. |
| Prioritization | Risk Factor or User Impact prioritization formulas rank what to fix first. |
| AI Assistance | Real AI helps developers work through fixes and generates VPATs from audit data. |
| Reporting | AI progress reports, portfolio insights, and project status available anytime. |
Why a Dedicated Platform Matters
Accessibility work has historically lived in spreadsheets. An auditor delivers a report, the report gets shared with developers, and then the tracking begins. Statuses get stale. Duplicates appear. Nobody is sure what was fixed and what is still open.
A dedicated platform fixes that structural problem. Every issue has one home, one status, and one owner. Project managers see real progress. Developers see exactly what to address next.
How Does the Platform Track Accessibility Issues?
The workflow starts with the audit report. Accessibility Tracker imports the spreadsheet and converts each row into a tracked issue with its WCAG reference, description, location, severity, and recommended fix.
From there, issues map to pages, screens, or components depending on the asset type. A website project organizes by URL. A mobile app project organizes by screen. A SaaS product organizes by view or component.
Status moves through clear stages: open, in progress, ready for validation, validated, closed. When an issue is fixed and the auditor confirms the fix, it closes. When something new appears, it gets added without disrupting the existing record.
Prioritization Without the Guesswork
Not every issue carries the same weight. A missing form label affects every user on a checkout page. A decorative image with an incorrect alt attribute is a lower priority.
The platform applies Risk Factor or User Impact prioritization formulas so teams work on what matters first. Risk Factor weighs legal exposure and frequency. User Impact weighs how much an issue interferes with completing a task. Teams can sort and filter by either.
Real AI, Not Marketing AI
There is a lot of AI noise in the accessibility industry right now. Most of it promises automated WCAG conformance, which is not possible. Conformance requires a (manual) accessibility audit because scans only flag approximately 25% of issues.
Accessibility Tracker uses AI where it actually helps. AI remediation assistance gives developers context-aware guidance on how to fix specific issues. AI auto-generated VPATs pull directly from audit data to produce a draft ACR in minutes rather than hours. AI progress reports summarize project status for leadership.
This is the boundary: AI makes skilled people more efficient. It does not replace the audit, the auditor, or human validation.
Scan and Monitoring Built In
Beyond audit tracking, the platform includes web scanning and monitoring as a separate feature. Scans run on schedule and flag automated-detectable issues over time. This is useful for catching regressions between audits, not for determining conformance.
The distinction matters. Scans are a monitoring layer. Audits are the conformance layer. The platform keeps both organized without confusing their roles.
Who Uses Accessibility Tracker?
The platform serves three main groups. Agencies and consultancies use it to manage client projects and white-label reporting. Internal teams at companies with web apps, mobile apps, or ecommerce stores use it to track their own conformance work. Accessibility professionals use it as the system of record across a portfolio of projects.
Shopify store owners, SaaS companies preparing VPATs, government contractors meeting Section 508 requirements, and organizations preparing for EAA compliance all work out of the same platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with Accessibility Tracker?
You upload an audit report spreadsheet and the platform structures your issues automatically. If you don’t have an audit yet, you start there. A (manual) accessibility audit is the only way to determine WCAG conformance, and the audit report is what feeds the platform.
Does the platform replace my audit?
No. The platform organizes and tracks audit findings. It does not conduct the audit. Audits are always performed by qualified auditors against WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA criteria.
Can the platform generate a VPAT?
Yes. AI auto-generated VPATs pull from the audit data already in the platform to produce a draft ACR. The draft is then reviewed and finalized rather than written from scratch.
Is there a limit on issues or projects?
Pricing and tiers vary by team size and project count. The platform is built for single projects up through large portfolios with many concurrent audits.
How is this different from Jira or a spreadsheet?
Jira and spreadsheets are general purpose. Accessibility Tracker is built for accessibility work specifically, with WCAG criteria, audit imports, VPAT generation, and prioritization formulas wired into the core of the product.
Tracking accessibility issues cleanly is what separates projects that reach conformance from projects that drift.
