The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) has made significant strides in digitizing its operations, and the Management Information System (MIS) is at the heart of that transformation. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about FESCO MIS in 2025 — from its features and functionality to real-world applications and expert insights. Whether you’re a FESCO employee, a government official, or an everyday electricity consumer, this article is designed to give you a comprehensive, human-centered understanding of the system.
What is FESCO MIS?
FESCO MIS (Management Information System) is a centralized digital platform developed by FESCO to manage internal data, consumer records, billing systems, employee details, and operational workflows. In essence, it’s the digital brain behind FESCO’s day-to-day operations.
Why Was It Created?
Like many public utility companies, FESCO faced challenges with outdated manual systems that led to inefficiencies, human errors, and delays in service. The implementation of MIS helped:
- Streamline administrative tasks
- Improve billing accuracy
- Enhance customer support
- Enable data-driven decision-making

How FESCO MIS Benefits Consumers
While many aspects of the MIS serve internal staff, the ripple effect reaches consumers in meaningful ways.
Improved Billing Accuracy
Before MIS, consumers frequently complained about incorrect bills. Now, real-time meter data and automated calculations significantly reduce errors.
Faster Complaint Resolution
A consumer in Jhang reported that his overbilling complaint, which previously took weeks, was resolved within 3 days using the new MIS complaint portal.
Online Bill Access
Consumers can now:
- View their monthly bill online
- Download past bills
- Pay via mobile banking or EasyPaisa/JazzCash
How Employees Use the System
We spoke to several FESCO employees, including line managers and back-office staff. Here’s what they shared:
“Earlier, we had to manually check files for employee leave data. Now, everything is just a click away,” said Farooq Ahmed, HR Officer at FESCO.
“The system helps us track transformer overloads and pending complaints, which makes maintenance much more efficient,” explained Shazia Riaz, a Grid Supervisor in Faisalabad.
Integration with National Databases
The FESCO MIS is also integrated with other systems, including:
- NADRA for CNIC verification
- NEPRA for compliance reporting
- WAPDA for coordination among distribution companies

For Consumers:

Data Security and Privacy Measures
Data security is a top priority. FESCO MIS uses:
- SSL encryption
- Role-based access control
- Daily database backups
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) for staff logins
Challenges and Limitations
Despite its success, FESCO MIS still faces:
1. Training Gaps
Not all staff are tech-savvy. FESCO regularly conducts workshops, but rural branches still lag in system adoption.
2. Internet Dependency
Since MIS is cloud-based, rural areas with poor internet connectivity often experience service delays.
3. Consumer Awareness
Many consumers are unaware of the features available to them online. FESCO is addressing this through SMS campaigns and public service announcements.
Future of FESCO MIS: What’s Coming in 2026?
FESCO is planning several upgrades:
- Mobile app launch for both Android and iOS
- AI-powered analytics for energy theft detection
- Integration with smart meters for real-time consumption tracking

Expert Insight
According to Dr. Anwar Malik, a utility management consultant:
“FESCO MIS is setting a benchmark in how public sector utilities in Pakistan can embrace digital transformation. However, the focus must remain on training and accessibility.”
Final Thoughts
FESCO MIS is more than just a data system — it’s a catalyst for better public service. While challenges remain, the improvements in billing, transparency, and customer engagement mark a new era in Pakistan’s power sector. For FESCO employees, it simplifies their jobs; for consumers, it makes electricity access more transparent and efficient.
If you’re part of FESCO in any capacity, learning how to navigate and utilize MIS can be a game-changer in 2025 and beyond.
