Makini's purchase order data model includes comprehensive field coverage across all major ERP systems. Standard fields include order number, line items, vendor information, quantities, unit prices, dates (order date, required date, delivery date), status, currency, ship-to and bill-to addresses, payment terms, and custom fields. Each line item includes product/material codes, descriptions, quantities, unit of measure, pricing, and delivery information. The specific fields available depend on the source system's capabilities. You can view the complete field mapping for any connected system in the Makini dashboard, and custom fields can be added as needed for your specific requirements.
Data synchronization frequency is configurable based on your requirements. For real-time needs, Makini supports webhook-based synchronization where changes trigger immediate updates. For scheduled syncing, common intervals range from every 15 minutes to daily, depending on data volume and business requirements. The initial sync after connecting a system retrieves historical data based on your configuration—typically 30-90 days of historical records. Subsequent syncs are incremental, retrieving only records created or modified since the last sync. Sync frequency doesn't affect pricing. You can also trigger manual syncs on-demand via API when needed for specific workflows.
The initial sync occurs when you first connect a system and retrieves historical data to establish a baseline. This includes records from a configurable time period (typically 30-90 days) and can take several minutes to hours depending on data volume. Initial syncs are complete snapshots of the requested data. Incremental syncs occur on subsequent runs and retrieve only records created or modified since the last successful sync. Makini tracks sync timestamps and uses them to query for changes efficiently. Incremental syncs are much faster, usually completing in seconds to minutes. This approach minimizes API load on source systems while keeping your data current.
Based on our market data, building industrial integrations in-house typically costs $50,000-$150,000+ per integration and takes 2-24 months depending on complexity. Maintenance requires dedicated resources—roughly one full-time person per three integrations. Makini transforms these economics: integrations go live in 1-6 weeks, costs are predictable OPEX rather than large upfront CAPEX, and maintenance is included. You gain access to 2,000+ integrations instead of building them one at a time. Our team has six years of specialization in industrial integrations, meaning we've solved problems you haven't encountered yet. For product companies, Makini allows faster time to market and frees engineering resources to focus on your core product rather than building and maintaining integration infrastructure.
