Rural Utilities Billing Information System

The Rural Utility Billing Information System (RUBIS) is a co-operative billing system owned and managed by its users. It was specifically designed for municipal and co-operative natural gas systems.

RUBIS is set-up as a user-pay service within the Federation of Alberta Gas Co-ops. It was designed for natural gas utilities, but is also capable of handling propane and water customers.

RUBIS uses powerful, versatile software covering all aspects of a typical billing program. It is based on Windows technology and uses an Oracle Database, allowing users to access their information in a secure, online environment from anywhere in the world.

RUBIS allows for:

• Both fixed and variable rates
• Email billing
• Seasonal billing
• Equal payment billing
• Generating final bills throughout the month

The Federation has a RUBIS billing staff able to complete data entry and payment reconciliation for utilities, or utilities can take RUBIS home to operate for itself.
