This article examines the impact of digital transformation on management efficiency in regional service enterprises, using Bukhara region as a case study. The study assesses the extent to which the introduction of digital tools affects decision-making speed, internal coordination, customer service quality, resource utilization, and control mechanisms within enterprises. The research methodology is based on statistical-dynamic analysis, a comparative approach, indicator grouping, integral assessment, and logical generalization. The findings show that digital transformation primarily enhances operational management efficiency, particularly in terms of service delivery speed, internal control, and customer orientation. At the same time, its impact on strategic management develops more gradually, although it demonstrates a more stable character over time. Based on the results obtained, practical recommendations were developed to improve management performance in regional service enterprises.
