The business struggles if costs that are out of company’s main activity (the so-called “no-core” costs) are not kept under control.
When we talk about “no-core” we refer to all those activities and services that represent a considerable part of the company costs, even though they do not concern the company’s own production activity. “No-core” costs are, for example, related to cleaning, telecommunications, shipping and electricity, but also stationery, business travel and catering.

The total impact on turnover of non-core products and services ranges between 10% and 15%.

By working on “no-core” costs, can be acquired a competitive edge, which is essential for moving in an increasingly global market.
