Territory Clustering
Group franchise locations, prospects, customers, or service tasks into geographic clusters using proximity, territory boundaries, coverage requirements, and configurable weighting.
Design balanced franchise territories with data-driven mapping, travel-time analysis, clustering, and route optimization. NextBillion.ai helps franchise teams evaluate coverage, define service areas, compare territory designs, and support scalable operational planning through flexible APIs, SDKs, visual tools, and deployment options built for enterprise location intelligence.
Use mapping, clustering, travel-time analysis, and optimization tools to design, evaluate, and manage franchise territories.
Group franchise locations, prospects, customers, or service tasks into geographic clusters using proximity, territory boundaries, coverage requirements, and configurable weighting.
Create dynamic travel-time and travel-distance polygons to evaluate franchise coverage, identify service gaps, and compare potential territory or facility locations against real road networks.
Plan multi-stop routes with more than 50 hard and soft constraints, supporting franchise delivery, field service, sales visits, and other territory-based operations.
Combine map data sources and custom road attributes into a consistent routing layer, enabling territory-specific mapping and operationally relevant geographic analysis.
Create balanced recurring beats across distributed territories by considering customer visit frequency, sales representative workload, and travel distance.
Define custom geographic boundaries and trigger actions for territory events, restricted zones, depot activity, customer notifications, and operational monitoring.
NextBillion.ai combines geographic clustering, travel-time polygons, custom mapping, and route optimization to help franchise organizations assess coverage and create operationally practical territories. Teams can analyze road-based reachability, balance recurring visits, account for territory boundaries, and connect planning outputs with routing, dispatch, tracking, and other location workflows through APIs, SDKs, or visual tools.

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.
Franchise territory mapping software uses geographic, customer, travel-time, and operational data to visualize and evaluate territories. It can help teams identify coverage areas, compare potential boundaries, group locations into clusters, and understand how road networks affect practical reach. NextBillion.ai provides APIs, SDKs, and visual tools for mapping, clustering, isochrone analysis, route optimization, and related location workflows.
