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.
All API requests require authentication via bearer token. After successfully connecting a system through Makini's authentication module, you receive an API token. Include this token in the Authorization header of your requests: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN`. Each connection has a unique token, allowing you to manage multiple customer connections independently. Tokens remain valid as long as the underlying system credentials are valid and the connection is active. If a customer changes their system credentials, you'll need to reconnect to obtain a new token.
Yes, Makini supports write operations including creating, updating, and in some cases deleting records in connected systems. Common write operations include creating purchase orders, updating work order status, modifying inventory levels, and creating vendor records. Write support varies by system and entity type—core entities like purchase orders have comprehensive write support across major systems, while more specialized entities may have limited write support in some systems. Write operations use the same unified API, so the code to create a purchase order in SAP is identical to creating one in NetSuite. Validate write requirements during implementation to ensure your target systems support needed operations.
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.
