Delivery Management System API — Integration Solutions

NextBillion.ai's Delivery Management System API suite gives logistics platforms, fleet operators, and transportation technology builders the end-to-end integration stack they need — from intelligent route optimization and real-time dispatch to live tracking, geofencing, and driver assignment — all on predictable, per-vehicle pricing that scales with your operation, not against it.

Our Delivery Management System API Services

A comprehensive API suite covering every layer of delivery operations — from planning and dispatch to tracking and compliance.

Route Optimization API

Generate dispatch-ready, multi-stop delivery routes in seconds with 50+ hard and soft constraints — capacity, time windows, vehicle type, shift hours — on predictable fixed-monthly pricing that absorbs demand spikes without budget overruns.

Driver Assignment API

Assign drivers instantly using dynamic parameters including location familiarity, shift timings, order priority, and driver preferences — enabling smart 1:1 matching and real-time dynamic reassignment at scale.

Route Dispatch API

Automate the planning-to-execution handoff by pushing optimized, dispatch-ready routes directly to driver apps and fleet management systems in real time — eliminating manual re-entry, communication overhead, and dispatch delays.

Live Tracking API

Track every vehicle, driver, and field agent with up to 1-meter positional accuracy, offline buffering for low-connectivity zones, configurable event alerts, and seamless integration with route optimization and dispatch workflows.

Geofencing API

Define custom virtual boundaries and trigger real-time automated actions — proof-of-delivery confirmation, arrival alerts, restricted zone enforcement, and proximity-based dispatch — without manual monitoring.

Distance Matrix API

Compute travel times, distances, and ETAs across matrices up to 5,000×5,000 in a single API call — supporting truck-specific routing, vehicle dimension constraints, and real-time traffic integration for accurate, scalable logistics planning.

End-to-End Integration

One API Suite to Orchestrate Every Delivery Operation

NextBillion.ai's Delivery Management System API integration solutions connect every critical workflow in your logistics stack — route planning, driver assignment, live dispatch, real-time tracking, geofencing, and post-trip compliance — through a single, coherent API ecosystem. Built for transportation technology providers and fleet operators managing thousands of daily deliveries, the platform replaces fragmented point solutions with a unified, low-latency infrastructure. With cloud-agnostic deployment, on-premise options for data-sensitive environments, and 24/7 support from solutions engineers, integration goes live in days, not months.

Experienced founders who built location technology at global scale.

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

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.
