# sevDesk integration

sevDesk is a German online service that enables small and medium-sized businesses to automate bookkeeping, accounting, and inventory management easily, affordably, and securely. Handle important tasks in the cloud and store your data in compliance with GoBD on servers in protected German data centers.

With sipgate, you can make calls directly in sevDesk and use your contacts in the sipgate app. This way, you always see who is calling and don’t have to switch between different tools. sipgate is your phone system with the telephony app for desktop and mobile.
