About this project
Access4you is a pioneering platform that certifies and documents building accessibility, empowering people with disabilities to navigate spaces confidently while helping businesses become more inclusive. Since 2019, they've been working to create a more accessible world by providing certified accessibility information for public spaces.
WRD Labs has been Access4you's development partner since early 2020, first delivering a rapid MVP and then continuously evolving the platform as the business grew. We developed and maintain their entire digital ecosystem, including the public website powered by WRD's CMS, mobile applications for both iOS and Android, and a comprehensive backoffice platform serving Access4you staff, auditors, partners, and property owners who can self-manage their location data.
Starting as a startup with ambitious goals, we helped Access4you quickly launch their core platform and have been expanding it with new features and capabilities ever since. Today, the platform manages detailed accessibility data for over 1,400 locations across multiple European countries, with ongoing expansion into India and the USA.

Business value
- Complete digital ecosystem: We delivered and continuously enhance a comprehensive digital presence including a public website powered by WRD's CMS, mobile applications, and a multi-user backoffice system. This integrated solution enables Access4you staff, auditors, partners, and property owners to manage location data and certifications while maintaining data integrity across all platforms. Our team also handles the ongoing operation and monitoring of all systems.
- Reliable accessibility information: The platform provides verified, detailed accessibility data that people with disabilities can trust, helping them make informed decisions about visiting locations and navigate spaces with confidence.
- Multi-tenant partner system: We implemented a sophisticated multi-tenant solution that enables partner companies to independently manage and audit their own locations while maintaining data isolation and security.
- Efficient auditing workflow: Our custom-built auditor tool allows accessibility experts to conduct and document on-site assessments efficiently, capturing detailed data and images directly in the field through a streamlined mobile interface.
- Rapid market entry: By providing a complete technical solution, we helped Access4you launch their innovative service quickly and cost-effectively, allowing them to focus on their core business of accessibility certification while we handled all technical aspects.
Challenges
- Building a novel auditing system: We created a system from scratch to support Access4you's unique auditing methodology, requiring deep understanding of their certification process and flexible data structures to accommodate future changes.
- Cross-platform accessibility: As an accessibility-focused platform, we implemented exceptional accessibility standards across both web and mobile applications, conducting extensive testing with various assistive technologies and carefully implementing WCAG guidelines.
- Complex data visualization: We developed intuitive ways to present accessibility data across different platforms and devices, while maintaining accuracy and detail that various user groups (users, businesses, auditors) require.
- Rapidly changing business direction: As a startup finding its market fit, Access4you frequently pivoted and adjusted their business strategy. Our team quickly adapted to changing requirements and new feature priorities while maintaining system stability and code quality under tight deadlines.
- Data integrity and security: We implemented robust security measures to manage sensitive accessibility data across multiple tenants. As the audit data represents Access4you's core intellectual property and business value, we built comprehensive security protocols while ensuring data accuracy and maintaining strict isolation between different partner organizations.
- International scalability: We built the system to support multiple languages, units of measurement, and regional requirements as the platform expanded into new markets across Europe and beyond.
