When a system becomes unavailable, Makini detects the connectivity failure and marks the connection status accordingly. Scheduled syncs will fail with connectivity errors. API requests to the connection will return error responses indicating the system is unreachable. Makini continues attempting scheduled syncs using exponential backoff—initial retries happen frequently, then progressively less often to avoid overwhelming the system when it comes back online. Webhooks notify you of the connection status change. When the system comes back online, normal operations resume automatically. For temporary outages, no action is required. For extended outages, you may want to notify the customer. Connection credits remain consumed during outages since the connection configuration persists.
Makini is a unified API platform for industrial systems integration. We provide connectivity to over 2,000 ERP, CMMS, and WMS systems through a single, standardized API. Instead of building separate integrations for each system, you connect once to Makini and gain access to all supported platforms. This approach transforms integration projects that typically cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months into a manageable operational expense with deployment times of 1-2 weeks.
Makini's unified API acts as a common denominator across all connected systems. We map each system's data structure to a standardized data model, exposing consistent endpoints regardless of the underlying platform. This means you write the same code to retrieve purchase orders from SAP, NetSuite, or Dynamics—the API calls and response formats are identical. You always get data in the same structure, making it easy to build consistent business logic. The unified approach eliminates the need to learn each system's unique API, manage multiple authentication methods, or handle varying data formats.
Connection credits are Makini's billing unit. Each system integration consumes a specific number of credits based on complexity. Systems are divided into three tiers: Tier 1 (simple systems like cloud CMMS), Tier 2 (mid-complexity ERP systems), and Tier 3 (complex systems like SAP). On-premises installations require double the credits of their cloud equivalents. For example, a cloud SAP S4/HANA connection might use 4 credits, while an on-premises SAP ECC installation uses 8 credits. Connection credits are consumed when you establish a connection and are returned to your pool when you disconnect. This allows flexible allocation across customers—you're not locked into specific connections.
