Have any questions? We’re here to help You
Some editions of Descartes Systems TMS 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 Descartes Systems TMS that lets you read and write Descartes Systems TMS data, even for legacy or on-prem instances. You build against Makini once instead of integrating with Descartes Systems TMS directly.
You integrate Descartes Systems TMS through Makini's Unified API. Authenticate once and Makini normalizes Descartes Systems TMS data into a single consistent schema you can read from and write to inside your product. The same connection reaches Descartes Systems TMS 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 Descartes Systems TMS's core records as normalized, standardized resources, in both directions: pull data out of Descartes Systems TMS and push updates back in. Every field is mapped to a consistent Makini schema, so you work with the same object model across Descartes Systems TMS and every other connected system.
Days, not quarters. Because Makini already builds and maintains the Descartes Systems TMS connector, you do not reverse-engineer the integration yourself: you authenticate and start reading and writing Descartes Systems TMS data through the Unified API, typically within a few days. A Descartes Systems TMS integration built in-house usually takes months plus ongoing maintenance.
Yes. Makini connects to Descartes Systems TMS over encrypted connections on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, and handles Descartes Systems TMS 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 Descartes Systems TMS and every other connected system.
Makini owns the maintenance. When Descartes Systems TMS 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 Descartes Systems TMS upkeep stays off your roadmap.
