Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, and truck-compliance rules — at predictable per-vehicle pricing.
Enterprise logistics operations demand more than basic routing — they need intelligent, constraint-aware optimization that scales with millions of stops, absorbs demand spikes, and integrates seamlessly into existing TMS and fleet platforms. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API delivers dispatch-ready routes in seconds with 50+ constraints, predictable per-vehicle pricing, and sub-second response times built for the complexity you actually operate at.
End-to-end routing intelligence covering optimization, dispatch, tracking, and distance computation for enterprise-scale logistics operations.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, and truck-compliance rules — at predictable per-vehicle pricing.
Compute real-time and historical travel times and distances across matrices up to 5,000×5,000 — providing the cost matrix foundation for routing solvers, driver assignment, and ETA feeds without per-call pricing penalties.
Automate the planning-to-execution handoff by pushing optimized routes directly to driver apps and fleet management systems in real time, eliminating manual re-entry and reducing dispatch time from minutes to seconds.
Assign drivers to tasks instantly using flexible dispatch logic, smart 1:1 matching, real-time dynamic reassignment, and advanced business rules covering driver preferences, shift timings, and location familiarity.
Gain real-time visibility into every vehicle and field agent with sub-meter location precision, configurable event alerts, offline tracking support, and native integration with route optimization and dispatch workflows.
Pre-segment large stop volumes into proximity-based, constraint-aware clusters before optimization — reducing routing complexity, improving zone assignments, and enabling parallel multi-fleet planning at enterprise scale.
Generic routing APIs break under enterprise logistics pressure — per-call pricing explodes with re-optimization cycles, 25×25 matrix limits force costly batching, and car-routing assumptions fail commercial fleets. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API is purpose-built for the complexity enterprises actually face: millions of stops, truck-specific routing rules, regulatory compliance, and demand volatility. With predictable monthly pricing, sub-second response times, and a 99.9% uptime SLA, it gives product and operations teams the routing intelligence to scale without budget surprises or engineering bottlenecks.

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.
A logistics API is a software interface that allows different systems — TMS platforms, fleet management tools, driver apps, and ERPs — to exchange data and trigger actions programmatically. In route optimization, an API processes stop lists, constraints, and vehicle data to return optimized routes, ETAs, and dispatch instructions in real time, eliminating manual planning steps and enabling automation across the entire delivery or field service workflow.
