With smartphone penetration in Pakistan on the rise and with most users residing in the largest urban centre of Karachi, it only makes sense to launch an app. After signing up the user will have access to a number of features such as billing details with historic data, duplicate bill downloads, and integrated unit consumption comparative graphs. Other features include live power status update, the ability to report power theft and to lodge complaints. Consumers will also be able to use the app to locate their nearest customer care centre.

A KE spokesperson said, “We have always believed in providing state of the art solutions to our customers. The launch of the app fits right in with KE’s use of technology and innovation in its customer-centric approach. We already offer a wide range of avenues to address consumer requests ranging from 30 customer care centres spread across its network, as well as one of the largest call centers state of the art consumer experience platform.”

This was the first time a Pakistani company won an award at this regional platform.

The power utility also offers facilitation at consumers’ doorstep with mobile vans and round the clock engagement via social media forums.
