Connecting to any system through Makini is straightforward. You select the product you want to connect to, log in with your credentials, and receive an API token. The process takes just a few clicks and works consistently across all 2,000+ supported systems. For most systems (85-90% of cases), you only need the instance URL, username, and password. Some systems may require additional steps like API token generation, and we provide detailed authentication guides for these cases. The connection experience is designed to be simple enough that non-technical users can complete it without IT support.
Makini maintains a comprehensive data model built from analyzing thousands of industrial systems. When data flows through Makini, we automatically transform it from the source system's format into our standardized structure. For example, purchase orders from SAP, NetSuite, and Dynamics all return with consistent field names, data types, and structures. This normalization happens in real-time as data passes through the API. You also have access to raw data if needed for specific use cases. The unified model covers common entities like purchase orders, work orders, inventory items, vendors, and assets, with extensive field coverage across systems.
Makini provides sandbox connections for testing without affecting production systems. Sandbox connections include sample data representing common scenarios: standard purchase orders, orders with custom fields, orders in various states (draft, approved, completed), and error cases like invalid vendors or out-of-stock items. Sandbox data is read-only for safety—write operations return success responses without modifying data. This allows thorough testing of your integration logic without risk. For testing with specific systems, we recommend using dedicated test instances of the actual systems (like SAP sandbox environments) connected through Makini, which provides the most realistic testing experience.
Makini supports create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations, though availability varies by system and entity type. Most systems support creating and updating core entities like purchase orders, work orders, and inventory items. Read operations are universally supported across all entity types. Delete operations are less commonly supported due to system constraints—many industrial systems use soft deletes or status changes rather than true deletion. Update operations may be limited to specific fields depending on system configuration and business rules. For example, some systems prevent modifying purchase orders after approval. We recommend validating specific operation support for your use case during the technical deep dive.
