Simply connect clockin to your programmes
DATEV, industry solutions, ERP systems, invoices & payroll
clockin can be easily connected to a variety of other programs and software solutions. This allows data to be exchanged between these programs without having to enter or transfer the data several times at different locations. We have the right solution for every customer. On this page we present the main interface possibilities.
![[Translate to English:] Datev Schnittstelle](/fileadmin/_processed_/f/1/csm_DATEV_e15b2f2fa5.jpg "[Translate to English:] clockin Schnittstelle Datev")
DATEV interface
Data exchange with payroll accounting and tax consultants
With our DATEV interface, data can be transferred directly to DATEV Lohn & Gehalt. Thus, the working hours of your employees can be transferred directly to DATEV or to your tax advisor with just two clicks.
Total effort for the interface: The DATEV interface is standardised and can be used within a few minutes.
Payroll accounting programs
Do you use a different payroll accounting system? No problem! With the open clockin API or the CSV interface, almost all programs and software systems can be connected to clockin. Please contact us for more information.
Total cost of the interface: Depends on the respective system.
![[Translate to English:] CSV Import Export](/fileadmin/_processed_/2/2/csm_CSV_48ec6dbab5.jpg "[Translate to English:] clockin CSV")
CSV import/export
The simplest way of data transmission
You want to transfer data simply and easily to and from clockin? In this case, our CSV import and export is just right for you. Almost every other software programme today offers CSV export, for example for customer, order or employee data. These are created as a list similar to Excel, can be downloaded on the computer and then be uploaded to clockin with a one click. Within a few seconds, all customer or employee data from your previous solution can be imported into clockin. This also works the other way around.
Because clockin only updates the changes in the respective data record, you can also regularly update inventory data in both systems. For example, if the address of a customer or the start date of an order has changed.
Total time required for the interface: 2 minutes per import/export.
Automated CSV import/export
Automatic data transmission
The above described way of data transfer via CSV import/export can be fully automated. For example, the newly generated data (such as working hours, break times etc.) are transferred once a day (usually at night) from clockin to a server. From here, the file can then be automatically imported into your other software programs so that you already have all times and project data in your payroll accounting the next morning.
Total interface effort: The interface must be adjusted and set up once. For this purpose, both your IT department or IT service provider as well as us at clockin must schedule about one day. Further expenses only arise if the transferred data needs to be changed at a later date and the interface must be adapted accordingly.

The correct customer address is automatically selected and the invoice with the respective invoice position is created as a draft. If everything is correct, you can send the invoice to your customer with one click. It couldn't be simpler!
Total effort for the interface: One-time connection of clockin and Lexoffice necessary. Can be done independently in a few minutes.
Availability: Coming soon!
Invoices and accounting
Create invoices automatically
clockin can be connected to almost any accounting and invoice program. All online solutions (SaaS) are particularly easy to connect. With locally installed invoicing systems or industry solutions, setting up an automatic interface can be more complex. Usually the standardised clockin CSV interface is the one with the best cost-benefit ratio. Many of our customers have been using the CSV interface successfully for many years.
Total cost of the interface: Depends on the respective system and type of installation. It takes approx. 2 minutes when using the standard clockin CSV interface.
