axesFlip is the specialized tool for accessible mass documents at axes4. It was developed to make document processes particularly efficient and time-saving. The solution is aimed at organizations that automatically generate large volumes of documents and want to implement accessibility in a structured, reproducible way without manual post-processing. Not every document process is suitable. This checklist shows whether your document process can fully leverage the potential of axesFlip.

1. Mass documents are a core part of your processes

Your organization regularly generates recurring documents in larger quantities, such as invoices, tickets, notices, or contracts.

2. Document creation is automated

Documents are generated by systems, for example from SAP, commerce platforms, or other backend systems, rather than being created manually.

3. Clearly defined document types exist

Documents follow fixed structures and recurring layouts. Individual, one-off design is not the norm.

4. Content, structure, and layout are clearly separated

Data, semantic structure, and visual appearance are not tightly coupled. The meaning of content is defined by rules and can be controlled independently of the design.

5. Digital accessibility should be an integral part of the process

PDF accessibility is considered directly during document creation. Manual PDF remediation is either not intended or should be significantly reduced.

6. Standards, laws and quality matter to you

Requirements such as PDF/UA, WCAG, or the European Accessibility Act (EAA) / German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) should be implemented consistently. The accessibility quality of documents should be reproducible and independent of volume.

7. The document process should be scalable

Increasing document volumes, new document types, or additional output channels should be handled without fundamental changes to the process.

8. The process should remain maintainable over time

Changes to templates, rules, or standards should be implemented centrally without having to rebuild the entire document process.

Conclusion

If most of these statements apply to your document process, it is ready for axesFlip. axesFlip shows its strengths where accessibility is not treated as a special case but as a stable, scalable, and controllable process. This makes accessibility a functional part of your system landscape.
