IN ACTION - Four Paws
Four Paws.
Helping Four Paws digitalise animal care management.
Four Paws is a global animal welfare organisation dedicated to protecting animals under human influence, working to ensure they live healthy and safe lives.
The wide range of animals cared for at Four Paws animal sanctuaries generates a vast amount data from disparate data sources. Four Paws required a fully digital and structured centralised solution to enable efficient, direct recording of animal care data.
The solution was to develop a basic CMS system which allowed the storage of animal data, the ability to add photos and document nutrition and dietary requirements and individual training procedures. We streamlined the data entry and management process, making it easier for caretakers to handle multiple animals and dietary requirements efficiently, as well as enhance the user experience to meet the diverse needs of different animal welfare centers.

Accessibility review.
Create software that can be used by people with diverse disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive impairments.
Users should be able to navigate your software using only a keyboard. Colour combinations should be high contrast to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Images and other non-text content should have alternative text descriptions for screen readers. Your software should be compatible with screen readers used by visually impaired users. Instructions and labels should be clear and easy to understand for users with cognitive impairments.
Our accessibility experts conduct a comprehensive review of your software, delivering a comprehensive report outlining identified issues, explanations, and high-level recommendations.

Accessibility optimization.
Comply with relevant standards and regulations to provide a positive user experience for everyone.
With approximately one in every six people living with disability, producing inaccessible software or digital products means missing out on a substantial amount of users.
Our accessibility optimization services help you identify and address accessibility barriers in your existing digital products. We work closely with your teams to address identified flaws and create effective, durable, user-friendly and inclusive designs that meet relevant standards. We can also help you with implementation and quality assurance services.

Differentiate with accessibility and protect your business from compliance failures.
Your software needs to meet the needs of all its users. We work with businesses looking to adapt their existing products and services to cater for the requirements of the widest possible audience.
