  RESCU Solutions in association with Procurecard unlocks a valuable new revenue stream for Whyte and Mackay.

"RESCU Solutions Procurecard unlocks a valuable new revenue stream from our non-core procurement activities. Monthly cash rebates mean that we can generate revenue from cost centres and increase bottom line profit".

Scott McCroskie - Finance Director, Whyte and Mackay Ltd.

Overview
Headquartered in Scotland, Whyte and Mackay is a global spirits company with an 8% share of the worldwide Scotch whisky market and significant brands such as Whyte and Mackay Scotch Whisky, The Dalmore Single Highland Malt, Isle of Jura Malt Whisky, Glayva Liqueur and Vladivar Vodka. The company is also the world's leading supplier of own label Scotch Whisky.

Whyte and Mackay employs around 700 people, and in the year ending September 2002, generated an operating profit of £20.6 million on sales of £157.2 million, representing 9.3 million cases of spirits.

Continually looking for ways to enhance business performance, Whyte and Mackay discovered that RESCU Solution Procurecard's unique spend management service would create a new income stream that they could not realise on their own. By joining the RESCU Solutions Procurecard programme, Whyte and Mackay would benefit from the combined buying power of all the participating members.

In addition, Whyte and MacKay would be able to supplement their in-house procurement expertise through access to Procurecard's team of over 80 procurement specialists, allowing Whyte and Mackay's purchasing team to focus on core business and strategic procurement activities.

RESCU Solutions Procurecard Benefits
RESCU Solutions Procurecard completed the spend management analysis and calculated the rebate that could be generated in 9 of the non-core spend categories - telephone, stationery, printing, IT consumables, hotels, courier services, IT hardware, work wear and cleaning. On a total managed spend in excess of £850,000; RESCU Solutions Procurecard identified a potential annual rebate of 7.5 % across the 9 categories, which would generate an annual cash rebate of £65,000.

This rebate is expected to increase over time as Whyte and Mackay adds new spend categories and as the overall total amount of spend managed by RESCU Solutions Procurecard grows.

Subsequently, Whyte and Mackay have asked RESCU Solutions Procurecard to look at a further £10 million spend across a range of categories, which has the potential to yield an additional annual rebate of up to £750,000, equivalent to a bottom line profit increase of 4%.

Conclusion
RESCU Solutions Procurecard has identified and provided for Whyte and Mackay Ltd a new revenue stream with significant potential, which will directly increase bottom line profit for the business.
