Bespoke KCML programming. KCML is the tool set used to produce Kerridge Autoline Revision 8 (Rev 8) and Revision 7 (Rev 7). It is also widely used on other non motor trade applications. KCML comes with its own database capabilities and as such is a popular coding language used in many non kerridge products. Tecconex has its own specialised KCML programmer that is able to code, bug fix and develop any non core product or third party integrations.
