PESHAWAR: Peshawar Electric Supply Company has taken a major step towards digital transformation and transparency by launching its first-ever Pesco Pension Management System (PPMS).

According to a statement issued here on Tuesday, it is a comprehensive software solution developed in-house.

It was stated that this landmark development replaced the company’s manual pension system, ensuring swift, transparent, and hassle-free processing of pension cases.

The PPMS, it said would significantly reduce the processing time for pension applications, eliminating longstanding delays and challenges faced by pensioners under the old system.

The statement said that with this initiative, Pesco became the first power distribution company to introduce a comprehensive digital pension management system, setting a new benchmark in public service efficiency and digital transformation within the power sector.

“This software will manage the complete pension process from initial case preparation to final payment and monthly pension disbursements processed through PPMS will eliminate the risk of duplicate payments. It will provide one-click access to detailed payment records for transparency and audit readiness and will automatically make calculations and ensure compliance with pension regulations for all case types,” the statement said.
