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.
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.
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.
Based on our market data, building industrial integrations in-house typically costs $50,000-$150,000+ per integration and takes 2-24 months depending on complexity. Maintenance requires dedicated resources—roughly one full-time person per three integrations. Makini transforms these economics: integrations go live in 1-6 weeks, costs are predictable OPEX rather than large upfront CAPEX, and maintenance is included. You gain access to 2,000+ integrations instead of building them one at a time. Our team has six years of specialization in industrial integrations, meaning we've solved problems you haven't encountered yet. For product companies, Makini allows faster time to market and frees engineering resources to focus on your core product rather than building and maintaining integration infrastructure.
