Nexiant’s full-service contract with Philip Morris USA includes implementation of software, hardware and professional services starting with Philip Morris USA’s manufacturing center in Richmond, Virginia and its Park 500 facility in Chester, Virginia. These plants will have a Nexiant onsite program manager that will assume system and restock administration, training, maintenance and cost improvement management, allowing Philip Morris USA’s plant personnel to focus on their core business.  The program manager will also oversee the integration of the Nexiant Secure units with the Smart Inventory Manager (SIM) which will help standardize and reduce MRO material requirements.  

“Philip Morris USA represents another major full-service account win for our team and it underscores the market’s receptivity and need for an expanded MRO offering in the marketplace,” said Michael D. Blough, executive vice president of sales for Nexiant.  “We look forward to building our relationship with Philip Morris USA in a way intended to produce significant returns in the company's MRO operation."

Nexiant will help Philip Morris USA eliminate disparate systems/processes in plants, ensure material availability for employees by improving material visibility and control, reduce overtime required to support maintenance activities and improve access to data, reports and information.

The Nexiant Secure dispensing technology enforces corporate access control policies at POU, combines carousel and locker modules to provide flexible configuration options for single-item dispensing and ensures the right MRO materials are in the right place at the right time.

Nexiant’s proprietary SIM collects, analyzes and formats transactional data to automate customer-generated reordering, improves inventory visibility and provides analysis and automation tools to improve operational efficiencies enterprise-wide.
