TracCloud has been designed from the ground up for speed, power, and security. Click here to schedule a TracCloud demo or reach out to sales@go-redrock.com for migration pricing or contract details.

TracCloud
For over two decades, Redrock’s TutorTrac has been a trusted solution used by thousands of centers worldwide. Now, we have completely redesigned TutorTrac using the latest, most sophisticated development tools to bring you TracCloud. Rebuilt from the ground up, TracCloud has been rigorously tested and proven effective in real-world production environments for over four years.
This transformation began with a fresh foundation — a new database (MySQL), a cutting-edge web hosting platform (AWS on Apache), and a robust development environment (PHP). But the improvements don’t stop there. TracCloud features a sleek, modern user interface designed to be exceptionally intuitive and user-friendly, making it easier than ever to navigate and manage your operations. Plus, TracCloud is fully optimized for mobile devices, allowing users to access and utilize its powerful features seamlessly from anywhere. We are now hosted on Amazon Web Services and we are taking advantage of modern cloud security, alert monitoring, and performance monitoring with automatic scalability for on-demand needs.
We are also excited to introduce new modules designed to enhance your campus’s ability to support students effectively. TracInsights for predictive analysis, Wellness Check-ins, and Reflective Prompts empower your campus to stay connected with students across your district. These tools provide instant alerts when students are struggling, allowing you to respond swiftly. Additionally, our TracFlow Automations can initiate timely interventions and connect students with the appropriate services your campus offers, ensuring no student falls through the cracks.
Guided by invaluable customer feedback, we preserved the features that made TutorTrac and AdvisorTrac so popular while embracing an ambitious vision: How can we elevate every great feature from the 4.0 version to be ten times better in the TracCloud version?
We are confident we achieved that vision. TracCloud is now a more powerful, intuitive, and versatile system while remaining affordable for every level of your institution. Whether you are a small writing center using our software for just $2,500 per year, a large multi-center support services department for under $6,000, or an extensive district with multiple campuses utilizing our comprehensive retention bundle (call for pricing), we have the ideal solution to meet your needs.
Most importantly, we are deeply grateful for the ongoing support and loyalty of our customers over the past 25 years. Your feedback and trust have been instrumental in making TracCloud what it is today. As we look to the future, we are excited to continue innovating and finding new ways to make TracCloud even more powerful and effective as a retention tool for your campus.

TracCloud: Enhanced Capabilities and Continuous Innovation
TracCloud has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, retaining all existing features while significantly enhancing their performance and usability. Our comprehensive suite of capabilities includes advanced reporting, intuitive scheduling, feedback surveys, online whiteboard meetings, early alert systems, text messaging, study table management, payroll tracking, resource check-in/out, workshop tracking, task management, success plans, terms and conditions waivers, support for unlimited centers, asynchronous appointments, custom fields, custom forms, custom views, work plans, certifications, instructor attendance tracking, testing center group appointments, watch lists, student photos, batch visits, Supplemental Instruction (SI) visit tracking, email templates, and batch emails. All of these powerful features have been further improved and seamlessly integrated with new functionalities, ensuring a more streamlined user experience.
A Modern, Mobile-Friendly Interface
The enhanced TracCloud system offers a responsive, mobile-friendly interface designed for convenience and accessibility. Students can effortlessly schedule appointments by scanning a QR code and tapping a button. Similarly, they can confirm their attendance at a center by scanning a QR code and pressing a single button, providing a smoother, more enjoyable user experience. Every component of TracCloud is now accessible through this sleek, user-friendly interface, enhancing efficiency for both students and administrators.
TracCloud Reporting System is Second to None
Our reporting system capitalizes on the data we receive and generate from the operations that TracCloud manages. Because of the data capture, our reports can comprehensively indicate what resources are needed and how operations can be streamlined to maximize the help that students receive. Reports can be generated automatically by all staff, and data results may be automatically exported on a daily or weekly basis. Reports may be securely emailed on an automated schedule to the people who need the results regularly and timely. Faculty can receive automated reports on student activities, research departments can obtain raw or summarized data indicating important trends, and center administrators can gather feedback on how students are being assisted. All reports utilize the sleek, user-friendly interface that TracCloud is now known for.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Since the launch of TracCloud nearly four years ago, we have remained dedicated to enhancing and expanding the platform. This year, we are introducing several new modules that are easy to incorporate into your existing configuration. The Predictive Analytics module helps identify and monitor at-risk students, while the Wellness Check-In module provides valuable insight into students’ emotional well-being. Additionally, our Reflective Prompts feature encourages students to reflect on their educational journey and the steps they are taking to achieve success. All functionalities can be integrated with our TracFlow automation module, enabling timely early alerts and automated student interventions. The newly introduced AI MoodMeter field links allow proactive identification of students who may require additional support. These enhancements are just the beginning, with many more planned for release throughout the year.
TracCloud: An Enterprise Solution that still works for smaller Centers
TracCloud supports single, small centers with limited budgets while providing powerful scalability for large districts with multiple campuses. Our modular approach allows institutions to add features and functionalities as needed, seamlessly integrating them into a cohesive, robust, and user-friendly system. TracCloud continues to provide a comprehensive solution tailored to meet the evolving needs of institutions of all sizes.
A Commitment to a Holistic Approach to Student Well-Being
TutorTrac has historically been a center operations management tool. Our latest improvements with the new TracCloud have focused on the student experience and how centers truly help students succeed. Future modules of TracCloud will strengthen the connection between centers, students, and faculty, while also providing tools for Deans, Provosts, and VPs to oversee the integration of student support services from a high-level perspective. With our extensive experience in center management and student support, TracCloud is uniquely positioned to provide these essential reporting capabilities, thanks to our ability to gather data directly from the source.
Now, we proudly introduce TracCloud — our latest innovation in student retention and engagement, designed to streamline the management of your learning, writing, advising, or other support centers on your campus.
New, easy to use interface
TracCloud features a modern, easy to use, and mobile-friendly interface, allowing you to easily find and manage your data as you need. Students, staff, and faculty will have a much easier time navigating through the system and accessing the data they need. The new dashboard offers many easy to access widgets to view and manage your data.
New Features
Export almost any report into Excel. Static and dynamic QR codes for touchless-kiosk environments. Unlimited custom data fields in student records, visits, appointments, and more. Customizable views of listing pages. Student timelines. Twig and HTML-supported emails and system messages. Customizable log listing and kiosk views. Center descriptions. New reports. Student success plans as a new module, along with work plans for staff. The full list of changes couldn't fit in this article, and more is being added all the time. Relating to the schedule specifically, you'll find a new appointments listing, availability badges, custom search appointment links and QR codes, unlimited customizable max appointment rules, asynchronous appointment support, and more.
Customizable
With Twig support, you can personalize system messages, upcoming appointment lists, emails, and more based on the users who are viewing/receiving them. From simple changes like greeting the user by name to completely changing an email based on if the related appointment was in-person or online, in a certain center, for a certain reason, even if a certain custom field in the student's profile has a specific value. This extends to the log listing and kiosks as well, where you can add or remove fields, rearrange the data that's displayed, and add custom formatting with HTML and Twig.
Faster
Rewritten from the ground up hosted on AWS, using a MySQL database, TracCloud is faster in every way. This performance increase compared to TutorTrac or what we now call Trac 4.0 can be noticed throughout the entire system, with reports being especially improved. Even the biggest reports in TracCloud load within a few seconds.
Migrate Existing Data
Migrate your existing data from Trac 4.0, allowing you to pick up right where you left off. We'll work with you to plan out your migration, coordinating with your IT, and training your system administrators to get you started in TracCloud.
Although we now bid the old TutorTrac a fond farewell this year, we appreciate how successful it was for so many centers around the world. The new, easy to use interface of TracCloud will make our current TutorTrac users happy to move to this new version. Moreover, our support team will make the transition easy and painless!
