Many companies operate with cost structures that have developed over time — but are rarely questioned anymore. Surcharges, allocations and costing logics often originate from a time when complexity and market requirements were significantly lower.
The result: decisions are based on figures that are only partially reliable.
The real issue
In practice, we repeatedly see the same challenges:
- Lack of transparency in cost structures
- Outdated costing models
- Missing connection between finance and operational reality
- Pricing decisions without a reliable foundation
This leads to margins that appear correct — but are not actually achieved in reality.
The approach: CORE (Cost & Result Engineering)
With CORE, we create a solid foundation for business decisions. The goal is not just to capture costs, but to truly understand and actively manage them.
- Transparency across actual cost structures
- Linking finance, processes and resources
- Reliable calculations for pricing and offers
- Clear identification of profit drivers
What changes in practice
With CORE, companies gain:
- Clear visibility into their profitability
- Better decision-making foundations
- Higher quality of results
- Active steering instead of reactive analysis
In real projects, EBIT improvements of several percentage points can be achieved.
Conclusion
Cost accounting is not a reporting topic. It is the foundation for competitiveness and sustainable growth.
