New features and tools to save you time and money
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.
SEFA Buying Group Filter
We’ve added a new buying group filter. Members of SEFA, the Supply & Equipment Foodservice Alliance, partnered with KCL to create a special filter that allows their members, and only their members, to see only their preferred vendors. SEFA 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.

Future-Foward
KCL foodservice design software is now compatible with the 2024 versions of the following leading design programs:
- AutoCAD 2024,
- AutoCAD LT 2024, and
- Revit 2024.
CFESA Service Locator
KCL now makes it easier to assist with parts and service with the CFESA Service Locator. Look for it on the far right in the main toolbar on KCL Desktop and click through to the CFESA site. It will also appear along with the manufacturer information when you select an item. The CFESA Locator appears in a more obvious position on our free app, KCL Mobile. CFESA, Commercial Foodservice Equipment Service Association, sets the standard for service in our industry.
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.
