Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop delivery routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints — including time windows, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, and priority orders — at predictable per-order pricing.
E-commerce delivery volumes are relentless — and your routing infrastructure needs to keep pace without ballooning costs. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API is purpose-built for high-throughput fulfillment operations, supporting 50+ constraints, sub-second response times, and predictable per-order pricing. From same-day order injection to multi-depot dispatch, turn routing complexity into a competitive advantage.
End-to-end routing intelligence for e-commerce logistics — from order clustering and optimization to real-time dispatch and live tracking.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop delivery routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints — including time windows, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, and priority orders — at predictable per-order pricing.
Calculate real-time travel times, distances, and ETAs between up to 5,000 origins and 5,000 destinations in a single API call — eliminating costly batching and providing the cost matrix that powers route optimization.
Automate the handoff from optimized route plans to driver apps and fleet management systems instantly, with real-time dynamic reassignment when orders are added, cancelled, or disrupted mid-shift.
Monitor every delivery vehicle in real time with up to 1-meter location accuracy, configurable exception alerts, and live ETA recalculations that keep customers informed and operations in control.
Pre-segment large delivery stop volumes into proximity-based, capacity-balanced clusters before routing — reducing optimization complexity, minimizing dead miles, and enabling logical zone-based dispatch.
Define custom delivery zones, trigger automated proof-of-delivery confirmations, send real-time customer arrival notifications, and enforce routing restrictions around high-congestion or compliance-sensitive areas.
Connect your order management system or TMS via REST API to feed stop lists, delivery time windows, vehicle capacities, and driver shift parameters directly into the optimization engine — supporting batch imports and real-time order injection throughout the day.

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.
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.
The API supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including customer delivery time windows, vehicle load capacity, driver shift hours, break requirements, priority stop ordering, and maximum route duration. These constraints are applied simultaneously within a single optimization call, generating routes that comply with all defined rules — without requiring manual post-processing or dispatcher overrides.
