2020 Design Software.
We Use It So You Don't Have To.

2020 Design — now officially called 2020 Flex — is the industry-standard kitchen and bath design program made by Cyncly (formerly 2020 Technologies / 2020 Spaces). It is the most widely used kitchen design software in North America, and most major cabinet manufacturers require designs submitted in 2020 format for accurate ordering.

The 2020 Design program handles everything a dealer or designer needs: floor plans, wall elevations, photorealistic 3D renders, items lists with pricing, and full ordering integration. It ships with 55+ manufacturer catalogs pre-loaded — brands like Fabuwood, KraftMaid, Waypoint, Yorktowne, and dozens more — each containing every door style, finish, and accessory the manufacturer offers.

The trade-off is cost and complexity. A single 2020 Design software license typically runs $5,000–15,000 per year depending on the tier, and becoming proficient takes weeks to months of dedicated training. For many dealers and remodelers, that investment only makes sense at high volume.

Rather than buying the software yourself, many dealers outsource their 2020 Design work to professional services like FKD. You get the same output — native 2020 Flex files, catalogs always up to date — without the license cost, training time, or staffing overhead.

Total first-year cost for a single seat: $8,000–20,000+ when you factor in the license, hardware, and training. By comparison, FKD charges $100 per room with zero upfront costs — no license, no hardware, no training.

Pricing is approximate and based on publicly available information — contact Cyncly directly for current 2020 Design software rates.

The most popular alternative among dealers is not another software — it is outsourcing. Services like FKD use 2020 Design on your behalf for $100 per room, eliminating the need to buy, learn, or maintain any kitchen design software yourself.
