UX and Accessibility

At Alfa, we strive to ensure that the user interface meets the highest standards, and that our product aligns with our values.

Our dedicated UX team ensures every screen, workflow and interaction in Alfa Systems reflects our design principles:

• Focus and efficiency
• Integrity and control
• Consistency and clarity
• Inclusivity by design

High-quality, user-centred design

Alfa Systems screens are developed in accordance with the accessibility principles provided by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the organisation that sets international standards for the development and design of the internet.

Developed by the W3C, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the most prominent set of accessibility guidelines and have a significant impact on global policy.

Working under these guiding principles ensures that we satisfy accessibility needs for a wide range of impairments, including vision, hearing, motor and cognitive.

Maximising accessibility through user research

Our focus on accessibility and other UX improvements is about more than ticking a box. We aim to ensure not only that its impact is maximised, but also to validate our own assumptions. To this end, we carry out regular user research, visiting customers routinely on-site to understand and improve how users interact with Alfa Systems, including those with accessibility needs. We understand that improving the accessibility of the Alfa Systems product improves the UX for all our users.

Modern, composable technology

Feedback from our customers has told us that, even within a single company, there is no 'one size fits all' approach. Innovative thinking has allowed us to implement the ability for customers to configure their own ‘superpersonalised’ screens to support business and operational use cases.

Leading the way in digital inclusion

Our accessibility and inclusion-related expertise is beginning to influence broader industry conversations. As more companies look to integrate sustainability principles and digital inclusivity into their operations, Alfa represents a model of how values can be integrated into both culture and product. By making accessibility a strategic priority, we not only enhance our software but also advance the wider industry towards more equitable digital experiences.
