CUBA Pro is a native module of Billetterie Legal Practice Manager. It is also available as a stand-alone module to support integration of other (non-Billetterie) platforms and systems to the national registry. It supports bulk applications as well as real-time interrogation of IP applications. Bulk files (multiple applications) are typically prepared in the firm's in-house system and then conveyed to the national registry using Billetterie CUBA protocols. CUBA is an acronym for Central Utility for Bulk Applications.

CUBA Pro provides a seamless integration with any third-party data sources, allowing the office to file and publish with the national office seamlessly.
It enables real-time communication, data flow, intermittent updates, bi-directionally from the national office back to the third-party client software.
