Dispatch Automation Software for Home Services

Home service businesses lose hours every day to manual scheduling, phone-tag dispatching, and last-minute route changes. NextBillion.ai's dispatch automation software eliminates that friction — automatically assigning the right technician to the right job, pushing optimized routes to their device instantly, and adapting in real time when plans change. Built for HVAC, pest control, plumbing, and every trade that runs a mobile workforce.

Our Dispatch Automation Software Services

End-to-end tools to automate technician assignment, route planning, live tracking, and customer communication for home service fleets.

Route Dispatch API

Automatically push optimized, dispatch-ready job routes directly to technician apps the moment planning is complete — eliminating manual handoffs, call-outs, and transcription errors that delay your field team.

Driver Assignment API

Intelligently match technicians to jobs based on location, shift timing, skill set, and order priority. Supports real-time dynamic reassignment when cancellations or emergencies disrupt the day's schedule.

Field Service Optimization

Schedule and route your entire mobile workforce using 50+ constraints — time windows, technician skills, territory rules, and service durations — with automatic re-optimization for last-minute job changes.

Live Tracking API

Get real-time visibility into every technician's location, route adherence, and ETA. Trigger automated customer notifications when a tech is en route, reducing inbound 'where are they?' calls significantly.

Geofencing API

Define virtual boundaries around customer addresses and service zones. Automatically log job arrivals and departures, confirm proof-of-service, and trigger next-job dispatch when a technician leaves a site.

Route Optimization Software

Plan optimized multi-stop technician routes visually with a no-code interface. Import job lists, set constraints, review routes on an interactive map, and dispatch to your entire field team in minutes.

Meet The NextBillion.ai Team

The builders behind the platform — founders with deep roots in location intelligence.

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.
