KCL Software Updates

HTTPS Upgrade

Be sure to upgrade to KCL version 5.7.09. This version uses https for all functions thereby improving security. If you don’t see this version noted at the top of your screen, then close KCL and re-open the program. You should be prompted to run our latest version. If you are not, go to the animated compass in the upper left corner of your screen and select “Check for update” from the pull-down menu.

KCL foodservice design software announces a new buying group filter for NAFED

NAFED Buying Group Filter

We’ve added another new buying group filter. NAFED, the National Association of Food Equipment Dealers, Inc. partnered with KCL to create a special filter that allows their members, and only their members, to see only their preferred vendors. NAFED members will be able to access a custom filter and automatically see their group’s preferred list. Of course, they still have access to all of KCL’s 260 manufacturers when they uncheck the box to turn off the filter.

Buying Group Filters

Speaking of partnerships, we’ve also partnered with PRIDE Centric Resources to create a special filter that allows their members, and only their members, to see only their preferred vendors. With the PRIDE Centric filter checked, members won’t have to spend time creating their own preferred lists. Of course, they still have access to all of KCL’s 260 manufacturers when they uncheck the box to turn off the filter.

KCL Private Label for Manufacturers

We have a new feature for manufacturers that want to use our time-saving design features and tools in-house with an exclusive list of products, KCL Private Label. The Private Label feature is also useful for manufacturers that have exclusive lines only available to specific groups of dealers or franchises.
