Key Benefits

RUFUS Cloud transforms sports event timing into a seamless, connected, and intelligent experience. By leveraging modern cloud technologies, serverless infrastructure, and a unified ecosystem of tools, RUFUS Cloud enhances every stage of race management—from device connectivity to real-time results delivery. Here are the core benefits that make RUFUS Cloud the hub of your event operations:

Centralized Device Management

Real-Time Monitoring

Bind your CloudBox units, Timing Apps, or custom devices directly to your account and monitor them live. View each device’s status, location, sessions, and connectivity from a single, centralized dashboard. Stay continuously informed and in control.

Public API Integration

The RUFUS Public API enables you to integrate your own timing systems, hardware, or apps into the RUFUS ecosystem. This unlocks full cloud capabilities—including device registration, passings ingestion, and live monitoring—creating a flexible, scalable timing environment tailored to your workflow.

Cloud-Based Flexibility

Access Anywhere, Anytime

RUFUS Cloud is fully cloud-based, giving you instant access to devices, timing sessions, passings, and results wherever you are.

Real-Time Collaboration

Any updates made—whether in Race Manager, a timing device, or the cloud—sync instantly across all connected tools. Your team always works with the most current data, reducing errors and improving race-day execution.

Seamless Integration with RUFUS Race Manager

Automatic Device Availability

When a device is bound to RUFUS Cloud, it becomes immediately available for timing activities inside RUFUS Race Manager—Web, Windows, or macOS. This eliminates setup friction and ensures a smooth, unified workflow.

Efficient Session & Passings Management

Browse live sessions, previous events, or historical passings with ease. Race Manager and RUFUS Cloud work together to provide a complete timing history at your fingertips.

Works Online and Offline

Race Manager can operate offline for remote or constrained environments, syncing seamlessly once a connection is restored. Local timing devices and cloud-connected devices operate as one cohesive system.

User-Friendly Interface

Intuitive Design

RUFUS Cloud is designed to simplify complex timing operations. Binding devices, configuring events, viewing sessions, and managing passings all feel natural and straightforward.

Team Collaboration Tools

Invite collaborators, assign permissions, and ensure your team has access to the right tools—without compromising control.

Secure and Reliable

Enterprise-Grade Data Security

RUFUS Cloud protects your timing data using modern security standards. Only authorized users can access your devices, sessions, and results.

Dependable Infrastructure

Built on robust cloud technologies, RUFUS Cloud provides the reliability needed for time-critical operations, with minimal downtime and consistent performance.

Serverless Architecture

Scalable & Cost-Efficient

RUFUS Cloud uses a fully serverless architecture that automatically scales as your event grows—from small local races to major multi-day competitions. You pay only for what you use, with no servers to configure or maintain.

High Availability by Design

Serverless technology ensures high availability, redundancy, and fault tolerance. Even under heavy load—during peak passings or large live-result audiences—your services remain smooth and responsive.
