Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready, multi-stop delivery routes in seconds using 50+ hard and soft constraints. Reduce daily operational costs, grow fulfillment capacity, and handle seasonal demand spikes without budget overruns.
NextBillion.ai's last-mile delivery dispatch and logistics platform gives operations teams the routing intelligence, real-time visibility, and automated dispatch tools to move more orders with fewer resources. From dynamic driver assignment to live tracking and proof-of-delivery automation, every component is engineered to reduce cost-per-delivery, eliminate manual handoffs, and keep your fleet performing at scale.
A complete API platform covering route optimization, automated dispatch, live tracking, and intelligent driver assignment for last-mile operations.
Generate dispatch-ready, multi-stop delivery routes in seconds using 50+ hard and soft constraints. Reduce daily operational costs, grow fulfillment capacity, and handle seasonal demand spikes without budget overruns.
Automate the handoff from route planning to on-road execution. Push optimized routes directly to driver apps and fleet systems in real time, eliminating manual re-entry, dispatch delays, and transcription errors.
Assign drivers to tasks instantly using flexible dispatch logic, smart 1:1 matching, and real-time dynamic reassignment. Supports advanced business rules including shift timings, order priority, and location familiarity.
Gain real-time visibility into every vehicle and field agent with sub-meter accuracy. Configurable alerts, offline tracking support, and native integration with route optimization close the loop between planning and execution.
Calculate real-time ETAs and distances between up to 5,000 origins and 5,000 destinations in a single API call. Supports truck-aware routing and custom road attributes for accurate, regulation-compliant logistics planning.
Define virtual geographic boundaries and trigger automated workflows — proof-of-delivery confirmation, customer ETA notifications, and territory-based dispatch — the moment a driver crosses a boundary.
Last-mile delivery is where logistics margins are won or lost. NextBillion.ai's platform connects every operational layer — route planning, driver dispatch, live monitoring, and proof-of-delivery — into a single automated workflow. With per-vehicle and per-order pricing instead of per-API-call billing, operations scaling from hundreds to millions of deliveries get predictable costs that don't spike with re-optimization cycles or demand surges. Trusted by global enterprises and fast-growing delivery platforms alike, the platform has optimized over 10.9 million deliveries and delivered $11M+ in documented customer savings.
See how leading logistics and delivery platforms use NextBillion.ai to cut costs, scale operations, and exceed customer expectations.

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 last-mile delivery dispatch and logistics platform is an integrated software suite that automates the final stage of delivery — from route planning and driver assignment through real-time dispatch, live tracking, and proof-of-delivery confirmation. NextBillion.ai's platform connects these layers via API, eliminating manual handoffs and enabling fully automated, closed-loop delivery operations at any scale.
