Ismail Industries goes live on FBR’s digital invoicing system through Haball’s Wasl platform

Haball has announced that Ismail Industries Limited is now fully operational on the Federal Board of Revenue’s digital invoicing system through its compliance platform, Wasl. This development marks an important step toward enhancing digital transparency and automation within Pakistan’s corporate and taxation environment. The transition reflects a growing momentum in the country’s shift toward standardized digital reporting, where major corporations are increasingly adopting automated systems to strengthen compliance and operational efficiency.

According to Haball, onboarding Ismail Industries onto the FBR’s digital framework reinforces the shared objective of simplifying and improving tax reporting processes across large enterprises. The integration is designed to help companies adapt to the FBR’s structured invoicing requirements, ultimately promoting accuracy, accountability, and traceability in financial documentation. By leveraging Wasl, organizations can align seamlessly with regulatory mandates while reducing administrative challenges associated with manual reporting.

The milestone also highlights collaboration among key stakeholders, with Haball expressing appreciation for the efforts of the Ismail Industries team as well as KPMG. Their joint work contributed to a smooth and timely shift to digital invoicing, demonstrating the importance of coordinated industry support in advancing regulatory adoption. Such cooperation is crucial as Pakistan accelerates the implementation of digital frameworks across its corporate systems.

The initiative aligns closely with the digital transformation agenda promoted by major regulatory and business bodies in the country. Institutions such as the Federal Board of Revenue, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, and the State Bank of Pakistan have been advocating for stronger digital compliance measures across industries. Additionally, organizations including the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Pakistan Business Council, Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and major tax bar associations have consistently emphasized the need for automated systems that improve transparency and streamline tax processes.

By deploying Wasl to facilitate FBR digital invoicing, Haball continues to position itself as a key enabler in Pakistan’s fintech and compliance ecosystem. The company’s technology is intended to help enterprises mitigate risks associated with reporting errors while accelerating their readiness for broader regulatory digitalization initiatives. As the national focus on digital taxation grows, solutions like Wasl are expected to play a central role in strengthening corporate governance and fostering a more efficient business environment.

The activation of Ismail Industries on the FBR system contributes to the broader objective of bringing large-scale enterprises into a unified digital tax network. This move is anticipated to support greater accuracy in documentation, reduce processing delays, and promote reliable data flows between corporations and regulators. It also reflects a broader cultural shift toward adopting advanced technology to improve internal operations and ensure compliance with government requirements.

The collaboration demonstrates how integrated digital systems can influence operational transformation, creating opportunities for improved accountability and future-ready corporate infrastructure. Haball continues to work closely with key market participants to expand its reach and help more organizations transition to digital compliance platforms.
