Connecting TechnologyOne to Your App via Makini API

TechnologyOne is widely used across government, education, and regulated industries for finance, asset management, HR, and operations. If you're building industrial software and your customers run TechnologyOne, sooner or later you'll need to pull data out of it — work orders, assets, purchase orders, maintenance records, and more.

The traditional approach means negotiating API access with the customer's IT team, reading through dense vendor documentation, and writing a custom connector that you'll have to maintain forever. We built Makini so you don't have to do any of that.

What you get with the Makini × TechnologyOne integration

Through a single unified API, you get access to the full range of TechnologyOne data objects your product is likely to need:

  • Assets — equipment records and site hierarchy
  • Work Orders — task execution, assignments, deadlines
  • Preventive Maintenance — time-based and counter-based templates
  • Asset Downtime — planned and unplanned outage records
  • Materials & Stock — spare parts, consumables, storeroom quantities
  • Purchase Orders — procurement documents with line items
  • Service Requests — internal and external maintenance requests
  • Labor — human resources tied to work order execution
  • Locations, Sites, Teams, Users, Vendors — the full organizational context

All of these are available via the same endpoints you'd use for any other system in the Makini catalog. No per-system SDK, no bespoke field mapping — just consistent, normalized data.

How the connection works

Your customer opens Makini Link (embeddable in your app or triggered via a link/email), selects TechnologyOne, and logs in with their existing credentials. That's it — the connection is live. The whole flow takes about a minute and requires no involvement from your engineering team.

On the backend, Makini handles auth, syncs, retries, and keeps the integration alive as TechnologyOne's API evolves.

Why this matters for your product roadmap

If you're selling to enterprise accounts in the public sector or education, TechnologyOne is a system you'll encounter regularly. Without a ready integration, you're either losing deals or committing to months of custom work upfront. With Makini, you can tell prospects "yes, we support TechnologyOne" on day one — and actually mean it.
