Integration timelines vary by complexity. For standard implementations with no customizations, connections can be live within 1-2 weeks. This includes authentication setup and basic workflow configuration. For implementations requiring custom workflows or specific business logic, timelines typically range from 2-6 weeks depending on the scope. Complex enterprise deployments with multiple systems and custom requirements may take 6-10 weeks. These timelines are significantly shorter than traditional integration projects, which often take 2-24 months.
Data synchronization frequency is configurable based on your requirements. For real-time needs, Makini supports webhook-based synchronization where changes trigger immediate updates. For scheduled syncing, common intervals range from every 15 minutes to daily, depending on data volume and business requirements. The initial sync after connecting a system retrieves historical data based on your configuration—typically 30-90 days of historical records. Subsequent syncs are incremental, retrieving only records created or modified since the last sync. Sync frequency doesn't affect pricing. You can also trigger manual syncs on-demand via API when needed for specific workflows.
Yes, you can trigger syncs manually through both the API and the Makini dashboard. The API provides endpoints to initiate syncs for specific entities (purchase orders, work orders, etc.) on a given connection. Manual syncs are useful when you need immediate data updates outside the regular schedule, when onboarding new customers, or when recovering from sync failures. Manual syncs follow the same incremental logic as scheduled syncs, retrieving only changed records since the last successful sync. You can also trigger full re-syncs that ignore the last sync timestamp and retrieve all records within the configured historical period.
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.
