With Catacloud as its technological foundation, ECIT UniFi delivers a solution that combines control, simplicity and automation. With their solutions Hoopit and Rubic, sports teams finally have the tools to run their club like a professional – and focus on what they should be doing: the next game.
ECIT UniFi is an accounting firm specializing in sports teams. With the club systems Hoopit and Rubik, and the accounting system Catacloud, UniFi has developed a seamless model where financial management is accessible to sports teams – and at the same time precise and efficient for professional accountants. By using Catacloud as an accounting system, customers gain control and overview.
– We see that many people are reluctant to take financial responsibility in sports clubs. Not because they don't want to contribute, but because they know how difficult it is to have control. We wanted to solve that – in a way that also works for us as accountants, says Sigurd Singelstad, CEO of ECIT UniFi.
The solution had to be more than user-friendly. It had to be integrable, flexible and future-proof.
The choice fell on Catacloud
– We put our head on the block when we build our service on a system like this. So it had to be a system with a good starting point, and one that we invest heavily in. For us, it is extremely important that we have trust and security in order to be able to build good solutions for sports teams in the future, says Singelstad.
Catacloud is the very engine of the solution ECIT UniFi has built. With Catacloud's open API Integration with club systems such as Hoopit and Rubic becomes easy, and it is possible to automate what previously required manual intermediaries and human follow-up.
– When an expense is registered and approved in the club system, the entire flow is automatic. It is booked correctly. It is paid out from Catacloud, and the user is notified – right in the app. For the end user, it is easy. For us, it is efficient and secure, says Marianne Daland, senior advisor at ECIT UniFi.
Solutions like this require mutual understanding, respect and trust. Over the past few years, the collaboration has only strengthened, with good results.
– The customers are very satisfied, says Daland. – It has become much better for the end user, because everything is connected. They say they have more control and an overview that they haven't had before, that they save time and that it is easier to handle the administrative work.
– Catacloud is a very solid platform to build integrations on, says Singelstad.
Flexibility that creates growth – for everyone
Catacloud makes it possible to offer accounting as a service in a new way – without losing control or compromising standards and regulations. With full functionality on mobile, it becomes easy to follow up on the accounts, and with an unlimited number of users, everyone who needs it can access the system on the same license.
– It's not just a platform. It's a system that understands how we work and that evolves with us. It's absolutely crucial for us to grow with quality, says Singelstad.
Catacloud is suitable for all accounting offices that want to automate tasks and work more closely with their clients – regardless of industry or size.
– Some people think that Catacloud is best suited for smaller customers, but we have found that this is not necessarily true. We have customers in Catacloud who have over 1.5 million in monthly payroll costs. So if you are an accountant wondering if Catacloud is the right choice, there is nothing that should hold you back. For the vast majority of customers, Catacloud is a very good system, says Singelstad.
– We couldn't deliver the same service without Catacloud, adds Daland.
With Catacloud at its core, ECIT UniFi has automated what can be automated – and given sports teams the tools they need to ensure smooth and responsible operations. The result? Less frustration, more drive, and more time to win the next game.
