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.
Yes, Makini supports both cloud-based and on-premises systems. For on-premises installations, connections require double the connection credits compared to cloud systems. The connection process typically requires opening specific ports and whitelisting Makini's IP addresses in your firewall configuration. For some on-premises systems, VPN tunnels may be necessary. We provide detailed technical requirements during implementation planning. In cases where security policies prohibit external connections, we offer self-hosted deployment options where Makini runs entirely within your infrastructure, eliminating the need for external network access to on-premises systems.
Customers connect systems through Makini's authentication module, which provides a simple, guided connection flow. The process typically takes 2-5 minutes: Select the system from our list of 2,000+ products. Enter connection details (usually just the instance URL and credentials). Authorize the connection. Makini validates credentials and establishes the connection. The connection flow is designed for non-technical users and can be embedded directly in your application, allowing customers to connect without leaving your product. For systems requiring additional setup (like API token generation), we provide step-by-step guidance within the connection flow. Customers see real-time feedback during connection, and if any issues occur, clear error messages guide them to resolution.
When a system becomes unavailable, Makini detects the connectivity failure and marks the connection status accordingly. Scheduled syncs will fail with connectivity errors. API requests to the connection will return error responses indicating the system is unreachable. Makini continues attempting scheduled syncs using exponential backoff—initial retries happen frequently, then progressively less often to avoid overwhelming the system when it comes back online. Webhooks notify you of the connection status change. When the system comes back online, normal operations resume automatically. For temporary outages, no action is required. For extended outages, you may want to notify the customer. Connection credits remain consumed during outages since the connection configuration persists.
