AI Powered Digital Accessibility
VPAT Generator (ACR Automation Tool)
A highefficiency automation solution for generating Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) from structured accessibility issue data.
The VPAT Generator is an internal automation tool developed by our team to streamline the creation of Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs)/VPATs. Built to reduce manual effort, improve reporting accuracy, and standardize documentation, this tool enables rapid conversion of accessibility issue datasets into leadershipready compliance reports with clear metrics and structured summaries. By combining automated data extraction, rulebased mapping logic, and standardized output generation, the VPAT Generator enhances our delivery efficiency and ensures consistent accessibility reporting across engagement types.
