There can be many reasons to consider switching membership systems. Not least the major developments in this area, with a lot of new features your old system may not cater for, whether you are a voluntary organisation, sports club, event organiser or association. It can also be useful as a way of reviewing what you already have, simplifying where you can, getting a better overview and seeing new opportunities.
1. Easy
Many people still keep lists, plans and overviews in Excel spreadsheets. It is a time-consuming system with large margins of error, poor overview, and no automation or updating options. In Rubic, everything is registered immediately and in real time, whether it is a change of pitch or venue, membership fees, registration or accreditation. This means everyone involved receives the same message at the same time, be it the event organiser, participant, referee, volunteer, manager or anyone else connected to the system.
2. Tailor-made
Everyone has different needs. Some need to register sign-ups, contact tracing and payments, others competitions at different levels or volunteers with different access rights, while others need an overview of payments. Rubic tailors the system to each organisation's needs, as it has done for two completely different organisations, among others: Norges Skytterforbund (NSF), Oslo Krets av Norsk Kolonihageforbund and Norsk Selskap for Fotografi (NSFF)
3. App
As an organisation, you need a system that works both for members of all ages and for the support staff. With an app, the threshold for getting involved, getting to grips with the features and using it every day is lower. Rubic was the first in Norway with both an app and a member register, and sees a great advantage in the app coming first. We have long experience, and a new generation of Rubic is arriving right now. This autumn we are launching the brand-new app “Rubic Connect”, which will replace LagetMitt.
4. User-friendly
A membership system should be easy for its users. As an organisation, you need a system that works both for members of all ages and for the support staff. At Rubic, we listen to our users. We release updates every fortnight, and Rubic is always evolving. If someone asks for a feature or something that could make things easier for them, we do our best to deliver it. Rubic is a living membership system that listens to its users, and the goal is always for it to be simple and user-friendly.
5. Communication
Good communication is crucial for an association to function well and efficiently – whether it concerns allocating shifts, running events, changing training times, course registrations, notices of meetings or recording payments. Problems are often simply down to poor communication – not having good enough tools to reach everyone. That is why it is important to have good communication tools such as email, SMS, direct messages and the option to send push notifications via an app. One system – integrated with the membership system – right on your phone will radically improve communication for the vast majority of associations. Rubic's messaging system is powerful and simple. With just a few taps, you can easily reach all your members or individual members.

6. Finances – Payment with Vipps!
The smoother the experience is for customers, the more likely it is that a purchase will be completed. By offering several payment methods, not least Vipps!, and the option to save details, you will not lose purchases because of unnecessary complications. Not least, the invoice must be easily accessible, whether via email, My Page or the app, where members themselves have a full overview. As an association, you often charge for membership fees, activities, registrations or other things that are an important source of income for the association. It is just as important to make it easy to invoice and keep track of what has been paid and what is unpaid. You can send out emails and reminders and check the status of payments at any time.
