Route Optimization
Plan multi-stop delivery routes around customer-selected time windows, vehicle capacity, service times, and shift constraints to improve on-time performance and reduce manual scheduling effort.
Give customers accurate delivery choices without overloading routes or missing SLAs. NextBillion.ai helps logistics teams manage delivery time slots and service windows with optimization, dispatch, live tracking, and ETA intelligence built for high-volume operations.
Tools and APIs for scheduling delivery windows, optimizing routes, dispatching drivers, and keeping customers informed in real time.
Plan multi-stop delivery routes around customer-selected time windows, vehicle capacity, service times, and shift constraints to improve on-time performance and reduce manual scheduling effort.
Automatically assign orders to the right drivers and push dispatch-ready routes into operations workflows, helping teams manage scheduled deliveries and same-day changes with less friction.
Track drivers and orders in real time to monitor adherence to promised delivery windows, update ETAs, and give operations teams visibility when delays or exceptions occur.
Calculate travel times and ETAs at scale to support slot availability logic, proximity-based assignment, and more accurate delivery promises during checkout or scheduling.
Trigger automated arrival, departure, and dwell events around customer locations, depots, or service zones to support proof of delivery and time-window compliance workflows.
Give dispatchers a visual interface to review, adjust, and approve scheduled delivery routes before dispatch, without relying entirely on engineering resources.
NextBillion.ai helps delivery teams turn time slot promises into executable plans. By combining route optimization, ETA intelligence, dispatch, tracking, and configurable constraints, the platform helps you offer customer-friendly delivery windows while protecting fleet capacity and operating margins. It is built for businesses managing scheduled, same-day, and high-volume last-mile operations without the cost volatility of pay-per-call mapping tools.

"By substantially reducing the number of developer hours spent on scheduling, NextBillion.ai's MVRP and large Distance Matrix API have helped us improve our operational efficiency and increase our cost savings significantly!"
"We were unhappy with the pricing from big players in this space and needed a scalable alternative that offered customizability. NextBillion.ai's Maptiles API was exactly what we were looking for. For companies in the ferry and nautical map domain, we'd highly recommend NextBillion.ai."
Built for logistics teams that need accurate scheduling, scalable routing, and predictable costs.
Per-order and per-vehicle pricing helps control costs as delivery volume and re-optimization needs grow.
Trial access starts quickly, with production deployment possible within a week using solutions engineering support.
99.9% uptime SLA plus cloud and on-premise deployment options support business-critical delivery scheduling workflows.
Built with 50+ routing constraints for real delivery windows, dispatch rules, and operational exceptions.
Experienced builders behind enterprise logistics intelligence.
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.
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.
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.
A delivery time slot system lets customers choose from available delivery windows while the business controls capacity behind the scenes. It uses factors like route density, driver availability, service times, and travel-time estimates to decide which slots can be offered. A strong system helps reduce missed windows, improves on-time delivery, and prevents overbooking that strains dispatch teams and fleets.
