Does Microsoft offer scheduling software for small businesses?
Short answerYes. Microsoft documents a Bookings feature with shared booking pages for an organization and a personal booking page tied to Outlook [1]. It is described as a booking page tool, and administrators can turn it off [2]. Whether it suits a crew with routes is something to test.
The explanation
Microsoft's learning pages describe Shared Bookings, which an organization can turn on or off in its admin center [1], and a Personal Bookings page connected to Outlook [3]. The frequently asked questions page states that administrators control whether end users can access Bookings [2].
Those pages describe how to enable and disable the feature, not a full field service system. They do not mention routes, crew dispatch, recurring service plans, or job invoicing, so do not assume those exist. Check the product pages for the specific features you need.
If you already pay for Microsoft 365, a booking page may cost nothing extra, but confirm that on Microsoft's own plan pages, because inclusion varies by plan. Run a trial that mimics your real week and compare it with tools built for trades.

Apex is designed for service visits with a hosted booking page, daily route ordering, and an invoice made from a completed job. The booking page and route ordering are built or working for the first business, and invoicing is a built screen not yet saving data.
