AssociationsFrom Excel spreadsheets to Rubic Funksjonær
Few things can compare with the Norwegian spirit of volunteer work (dugnad). Dedicated enthusiasts and eager volunteers are more than happy to help out when festivals, sporting events, flea markets, gatherings and meets are organised.
AssociationsThe best friend of activity and special-interest associations
Norway is a country of activity and special-interest associations. In towns, cities and villages large and small, associations with passionately committed members are springing up. In addition to the members, an association consists of a board and an administration.
AssociationsMore interest through good communication
More interest through good communication Have you ever organised an event and thought, “This is going to be really good!
AssociationsMake association work straightforward
How many members do you actually have? Has everyone paid their membership fee? Are they getting up-to-date and important information from the board and the leadership?

AssociationsMaking life easier for the membership officer
Many people are reluctant to take on the role of membership officer in sports clubs and associations. It is well known that being a membership officer comes with responsibilities that involve a lot of manual and administrative work. It is also a very important role, as every club and association depends on up-to-date member lists for licences and grants. These lists also form the basis for communication between the members and the administration.
Sports clubsThe story of Rubic and LagetMitt
Rubic was started with one main goal: to make everyday life easier for teams and associations. Today, Rubic is a complete membership system that lets management and administration in associations and sports clubs, coaches, membership officers, members and parents spend their time on what matters. But to tell the story, we have to go right back to the beginning.
Associations8 things to consider when choosing a membership system
Is your sports club, association or organisation choosing a new membership system? Here we present eight things you should take into account to make a good choice. The right membership system frees up time so that enthusiasts, leaders, coaches, parents and guardians, and athletes can spend their time on what they enjoy.
AssociationsIncrease your association's income
Even though the Norwegian association sector is driven by many enthusiasts and volunteers – local heroes – there is no getting around the fact that financial management is important. That is why the person responsible for finances clearly has a big responsibility in any association. Rubic aims to make everyday life easier for those responsible for finances in associations, in sports clubs and for those who manage the finances of larger events.
Sports clubsWhat is LagetMitt?
LagetMitt is an activity app developed by sport, for sport. The app is used by administration and management, members, parents and guardians, and other family members. For many groups, whether associations or sports clubs, it makes sense to use the app together with the member register and payment solutions in the Rubic system. If you choose to do so, the two are fully integrated so that information and communication flow seamlessly.
Sports clubsEveryday life made easier for football parents
There is no doubt that keeping a family organised takes a fair amount of administration. There are lots of calendars to coordinate, active children to drive back and forth, and bills to pay. On top of that, as a parent you may also have to do volunteer work (dugnad) or take a kiosk shift every now and then. What if it were possible to organise all of this in one single system? With Rubic, it is.

The other parent organises a flea market for the band and is a member of the local history society.
