Universal Access & Usability
Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: August 29, 2026
1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
SlipDesk is designed from the ground up for high-pressure, noisy wholesale distribution counters where speed, accuracy, and ergonomic clarity are critical. We strive to adhere to WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines to ensure counter operators, billing clerks, and warehouse staff can operate the software effectively across diverse devices and assistive technologies.
2. Keyboard-First Architecture
Every core operation in SlipDesk can be executed entirely via keyboard without touching a mouse:
| Shortcut Key | Operational Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + N | Open Fast Order Entry desk from any screen |
| Tab | Move forward between retailer search, product input, and quantity fields |
| Shift + Tab | Move backward to previous input field |
| Enter | Add currently selected matched product line item to active draft |
| Ctrl + Enter | Instantly save, lock, and confirm the wholesale order |
| Esc | Dismiss modal dialogs, drawer menus, or search dropdowns |
3. High Contrast & Legibility
- Contrast Ratios: Text elements maintain a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio against their backgrounds, utilizing high-contrast slate (
text-slate-900) and dark surfaces (bg-slate-950). - Typography Scale: All interactive controls, table cells, and status indicators adhere to a minimum 12px font size with clear typographic weight hierarchy.
- Focus Indicators: All input fields, buttons, and navigable elements have prominent 2px focus rings for clear visual location.
4. Touch Target Sizes & Screen Readers
- Mobile Touch Targets: On mobile devices (used by van drivers for dispatch manifests), buttons and interactive rows meet the 44×44px minimum touch target recommendation.
- Semantic Markup: Pages utilize standard semantic HTML5 landmarks (
<header>,<main>,<nav>,<aside>,<footer>). - Screen Reader Announcements: Live status alerts (such as offline mode triggers or order confirmation toasts) use
aria-live="polite"androle="status".

We actively welcome feedback from distributors and staff regarding accessibility enhancements. If you encounter any barriers, contact us:
