UpKeep is an asset operations platform built around a mobile-first CMMS, used by maintenance teams from single-site operations to enterprises with many locations. Technicians and managers handle Work Orders, Requests and Preventive Maintenance schedules against Assets and Locations, track Parts with minimum quantities, log Meter readings and raise Purchase Orders to Vendors. The same platform offers Edge sensors for temperature, vibration and runtime, plus modules such as UpKeep Safety and Fleet. A predictive maintenance product reads assets and locations through Makini's Unified API, so each monitored machine maps to the asset record technicians already see on their phones. When it detects a developing fault, it can open a work order where the connection permits writes, and the job appears in the UpKeep queue. Inventory optimization tools compare stock items, which UpKeep calls Parts, with open purchase orders and vendors to suggest reorder points. OEM vendors review work order history on the equipment they supplied to plan spare parts and service visits. An UpKeep user signs in through Makini Link, embedded in the vendor's product or sent as a magic link, so credentials never pass through the vendor's application. Data then syncs on an interval set by the Makini plan, not in real time. UpKeep enables its API only for accounts on the Enterprise plan, so confirm the customer's plan before rollout. API access follows the connecting user's account type, such as Admin, Technician or View Only, so agree with the customer's administrator which account to connect.

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