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.
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.
API tokens must be stored securely and should never be exposed on the client side or in public repositories. Store tokens in secure environment variables or dedicated secrets management systems like AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or Azure Key Vault. Never hardcode tokens in application code or commit them to version control. Implement proper access controls so only authorized services can access stored tokens. For production environments, use separate tokens from development/testing environments. Rotate tokens periodically and immediately revoke tokens if you suspect they've been compromised. Makini tokens provide access to customer data, so treat them with the same security standards you'd apply to database credentials.
Makini provides several debugging tools. The dashboard shows detailed request logs including request/response payloads, headers, status codes, and timing. Each API request generates a unique request ID included in responses—provide this when contacting support for faster investigation. For workflow-based integrations, Makini Flows includes execution logs showing each step's input/output, timing, and any errors. Connection health monitoring shows sync history, error rates, and connection status over time. API responses include detailed error information with error codes and messages. For development, we recommend using API clients like Postman or Insomnia to interactively test API calls and inspect responses. Our API documentation includes request/response examples for all endpoints.
