incidere sui profitti


Explanation:
Sbaglierò, ma sembra che significhi questo..con lo strumento di XXX si risparmia tempo e quindi non si incide negativamente sui profitti..

intaccare i profitti


Explanation:
Sì, direi che il gioco di parole tra senso proprio (azione della macchina in questione) e senso figurato (avere ripercussioni negative) c'è. "Intaccare" potrebbe rendere bene entrambi i concetti:
basta intaccare i profitti
smettetela di intaccare i profitti
