Cat Connect is Caterpillar's set of connected equipment technologies and services, using telematics data from machines to monitor location, utilization, fuel use, health, and productivity. It is used by equipment owners and dealers to manage fleets and plan maintenance.

Some editions of Cat Connect expose an API, but it is often limited, legacy, or inconsistent between versions, and many on-prem deployments have no usable API at all. Makini gives you one modern REST API for Cat Connect that lets you read and write Cat Connect data, even for legacy or on-prem instances. You build against Makini once instead of integrating with Cat Connect directly.
You integrate Cat Connect through Makini's Unified API. Authenticate once and Makini normalizes Cat Connect data into a single consistent schema you can read from and write to inside your product. The same connection reaches Cat Connect plus 2,000+ other ERP, WMS and CMMS systems, so you build one integration instead of one per system.
Through Makini you can read and write Cat Connect's core records as normalized, standardized resources, in both directions: pull data out of Cat Connect and push updates back in. Every field is mapped to a consistent Makini schema, so you work with the same object model across Cat Connect and every other connected system.
Days, not quarters. Because Makini already builds and maintains the Cat Connect connector, you do not reverse-engineer the integration yourself: you authenticate and start reading and writing Cat Connect data through the Unified API, typically within a few days. A Cat Connect integration built in-house usually takes months plus ongoing maintenance.
Yes. Makini connects to Cat Connect over encrypted connections on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, and handles Cat Connect credentials for you so they are never exposed to your app. You authenticate once, and access runs through Makini's managed, auditable layer. The same security model applies across Cat Connect and every other connected system.
Makini owns the maintenance. When Cat Connect changes its API, versions, or endpoints, Makini updates the connector, and your integration keeps working with no changes on your side. You get a stable Unified API with webhooks, and Cat Connect upkeep stays off your roadmap.
