well because when you run a script in batch mode e.g. using cron or init you are using utilities with minimalist intelligence e.g. like PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
In other words when you log in you have access to an environment, which is unknown in batch mode
The most important when it works in interactive and not in batch is to start with PATH variable:
put in your script at the beginning the path you have when you type env
If that doesnt work source your .profile or whatever you use as first line of your script knowing that it will generate loads of errors because not in interactive mode ( all things to do with stty to start with...) and see if that works, if so you are to search what in your env is needed to get your script to work...
Good luck

For learning how to configure and manage services with systemd look at the documentation, for example here:

manpages

And here a more tutorial styled website:

Maybe the program needs a terminal and it is not configured to have one in the service file?
