With seamless integration into RUFUS Race Manager and the RUFUS Event App, you can time races, manage event data, and publish live results with unprecedented ease.
RUFUS Cloud is designed to be your complete timing infrastructure, enabling organizers to run fully connected events—from registration to results—with reliability and efficiency.
The Complete Timing Ecosystem
At the heart of the RUFUS platform lies a tightly connected ecosystem of tools and services. Each one plays a crucial part in delivering a smooth and modern race experience.
RUFUS Timing App
A native timing solution built for versatility. Use it to time races manually by entering bib numbers or take advantage of RFID integration for automated timing. Every session can synchronize seamlessly with RUFUS Cloud for real-time processing and results.
RUFUS CloudBox
Our dedicated RFID timing device. CloudBox connects directly to RUFUS Cloud, delivering reliable performance, live device monitoring, and uninterrupted data transmission. It works in both online and offline environments, automatically syncing when internet connectivity is restored.
Public API
Built for developers, integrators, and hardware vendors. The RUFUS Public API allows you to connect your own timing devices or custom software to the RUFUS ecosystem—binding devices, sending passings, and accessing timing data just like any native RUFUS device.
RUFUS Race Manager
Available as a web app and a Windows and macOS desktop application, Race Manager is the operational center for race organizers. It allows you to manage participants, configure timing, control devices, and publish results. With RUFUS Cloud integration, you can mix online and offline timing workflows effortlessly—connecting local devices and cloud-enabled devices in the same event without friction.
RUFUS Event App
The official app for participants, spectators, and organizers. Event App surfaces real-time race data, results, participant lists, checkpoints, and event details—instantly and from anywhere. Fully synced with RUFUS Cloud and Race Manager, it enhances the race-day experience with live information and personalized insights.
Timing with RUFUS Cloud
Timing on RUFUS Cloud is designed to be flexible, scalable, and intuitive.
The RUFUS CloudBox and the RUFUS Timing App are our native timing devices, delivering plug-and-play integration with RUFUS Cloud.
Both connect seamlessly to RUFUS Race Manager, whether you’re working in a browser or using the desktop version.
You can run your entire timing workflow online or offline, confident that all data will stay synchronized across tools.
For developers or teams with their own timing hardware, the Public API extends the ecosystem even further. By binding your custom devices to RUFUS Cloud, you gain access to all timing features—live monitoring, passings ingestion, session management, cloud publishing, and more.
This unified approach ensures that native and custom devices work together harmoniously, giving you complete flexibility to build the timing setup that best fits your event.
