Explanation

Resource Scheduling Optimization (RSO) is the add-on for Dynamics 365 Field Service that automatically schedules work orders to resources using optimization algorithms that minimize travel time and maximize utilization. It runs automatically on a defined schedule or triggered basis. Universal Resource Scheduling (URS) is the underlying scheduling engine that powers the schedule board but requires manual or semi-automated dispatching. The Schedule Board is a visual dispatching tool used by dispatchers - it does not automatically schedule or optimize. Unified Routing directs work items (cases, etc.) to the right agent/queue but is not designed for geographic travel-time optimization.
