Automated Notifications for Field Service Businesses

Field service operations run on timing — and your customers expect to know exactly when a technician is en route, arriving, or has completed a job. NextBillion.ai's automated notification infrastructure gives field service businesses real-time, geofence-triggered alerts that reduce missed appointments, cut inbound status calls, and keep every stakeholder informed without manual dispatcher effort.

Our Automated Notification Services

End-to-end notification and alerting tools that keep field service teams, dispatchers, and customers informed in real time.

Geofence-Triggered Alerts

Automatically notify customers and dispatchers the moment a technician enters or exits a job site boundary. Eliminate manual check-in calls and deliver proof-of-arrival confirmations without dispatcher intervention.

Live ETA Notifications

Push real-time ETA updates to customers as technicians navigate their job queues. Accurate, traffic-aware arrival estimates reduce no-shows and help customers plan their day around confirmed service windows.

Dispatch & Route Alerts

Instantly notify technicians of new job assignments, route changes, and task reassignments through automated dispatch workflows — reducing call volume and eliminating manual handoff delays.

Exception & Deviation Alerts

Trigger automated alerts when a technician deviates from their planned route, idles excessively, or misses a scheduled time window — enabling proactive supervisor intervention before SLAs are breached.

Job Completion Confirmations

Automatically send proof-of-service notifications with time-stamped arrival and departure records when a technician completes a job — building customer trust and creating an auditable service trail.

Asset & Fleet Movement Alerts

Monitor field vehicles in real time and receive instant alerts for unauthorized movement, out-of-hours activity, or entry into restricted zones — protecting assets and ensuring fleet compliance.

The founders and engineers behind NextBillion.ai's field service automation platform.

Ajay Bulusu, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Ajay Bulusu

Co-Founder

Ajay Bulusu is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in geospatial technology and large-scale location platform engineering. His journey began in 2017 as part of Grab's pioneering Geo team, where he helped build the location infrastructure underpinning one of Southeast Asia's largest mobility and logistics platforms. That experience revealed how critical — and how underserved — accurate, flexible location technology was for real-world operations. Driven by a mission to democratize sophisticated location intelligence, Ajay co-launched NextBillion.ai in 2020. Under his technical leadership, the platform has scaled to serve 150+ businesses globally, optimize over 10.9 million deliveries and field tasks, and deliver more than $11 million in documented cost savings to customers.

Gaurav Bubna, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Gaurav Bubna

Co-Founder

Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing a proven track record of building successful products from scratch across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics. Before co-founding NextBillion.ai, Gaurav held product leadership roles at Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley — organizations where location technology and operational efficiency are existential. His time on Grab's Geo team alongside Ajay and Shaolin crystallized the vision: logistics and field service businesses needed enterprise-grade location intelligence without prohibitive per-call pricing. Since launching NextBillion.ai in 2020, Gaurav has led the product evolution that has helped the platform navigate over 557 million miles and raise $34.25M in venture capital from investors including Lightspeed and Microsoft's M12.

Shaolin Zheng

Co-Founder

Shaolin Zheng is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, contributing deep technical expertise in geospatial systems and scalable mapping infrastructure. Like his co-founders, Shaolin's formative experience building location technology for Grab's Geo team gave him firsthand insight into the operational gaps that generic mapping solutions leave unaddressed — particularly for field service and logistics businesses operating at scale. His engineering perspective shapes NextBillion.ai's core philosophy: location technology must be customizable, cost-predictable, and production-reliable. The platform he helped build now powers GPS tracking, route optimization, and field service intelligence for over 150 businesses worldwide, with on-premise deployment options and SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certifications ensuring enterprise-grade security.
