Route Dispatch API
Automate the delivery of optimized, dispatch-ready routes directly to driver apps and fleet systems the moment planning is complete — eliminating manual handoffs and reducing dispatch time from minutes to seconds.
Build intelligent, automated dispatch workflows with NextBillion.ai's developer-ready APIs. From real-time driver assignment and route dispatch to live tracking and dynamic reassignment, our platform gives engineering teams the programmatic control to eliminate manual handoffs, reduce dispatch latency, and keep every vehicle moving on the optimal route — at production scale.
A complete suite of developer APIs to automate driver assignment, route dispatch, live tracking, and dynamic reassignment at scale.
Automate the delivery of optimized, dispatch-ready routes directly to driver apps and fleet systems the moment planning is complete — eliminating manual handoffs and reducing dispatch time from minutes to seconds.
Assign drivers to tasks instantly using flexible dispatch logic, smart 1:1 matching, and dynamic real-time reassignment — factoring in driver preferences, shift timings, location familiarity, and order priority.
Gain real-time visibility into every vehicle and field agent with sub-meter accuracy. Supports offline tracking, configurable alerts, and closed-loop integration with route optimization and dispatch workflows.
Generate dispatch-ready, multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints — capacity, time windows, vehicle type, shift hours — optimized for cost, time, and operational compliance.
Define virtual geographic boundaries and trigger automated dispatch actions — proof-of-delivery, arrival alerts, territory-based order routing — the moment a driver or vehicle crosses a boundary.
Calculate real-time travel times, distances, and ETAs between up to 5,000 origins and 5,000 destinations in a single call — providing the foundational routing intelligence that powers accurate driver-to-task matching.
Feed incoming orders, service tasks, or ride requests into the Distance Matrix API to compute real-time ETAs and distances between all available drivers and pending tasks — the cost matrix that drives every downstream assignment decision.

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 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 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.
The Dispatch API automates the complete handoff between route planning and on-road execution. It pushes optimized, dispatch-ready routes directly from the planning engine to driver applications and fleet management systems in real time — eliminating manual re-entry, phone calls, and copy-paste transfers. It also handles dynamic reassignment when orders change, drivers are unavailable, or vehicles break down mid-shift.
