Mining operations run across vast, hazardous, and access-controlled terrain where a single unauthorized vehicle movement or boundary breach can trigger safety incidents, compliance failures, or costly operational disruptions. NextBillion.ai's geofencing system software gives mining operators real-time boundary enforcement, automated alerts, and asset visibility — purpose-built for the scale and complexity of active mine sites. Operations teams can define blast exclusion zones, pit perimeters, haul road corridors, and equipment staging areas, then monitor entries, exits, and dwell times across every tracked vehicle and asset. Built for US mine operators managing MSHA and DOT-related safety obligations, the platform supports both surface and underground environments, integrates with existing telematics and fleet systems, and produces audit-ready event records for incident review, regulatory inspection, and insurance documentation without adding a separate monitoring layer to daily operations.
Comprehensive geofencing and location intelligence tools built to secure, monitor, and optimize every asset across your mining operation.
Define custom virtual boundaries around mine zones, blast areas, and restricted sites. Trigger real-time automated alerts when vehicles or personnel enter or exit designated safety perimeters, with support for polygons, corridors, and time-scheduled rules.
Track every vehicle, machine, and field asset across the mine site in real time with up to 1-meter accuracy. Receive configurable alerts for unauthorized movement, speeding, or boundary violations — even in low-connectivity underground or remote zones.
Rebuild complete, road-snapped trip records from raw GPS data collected across mine haul roads. Generate audit-ready compliance documentation for regulatory inspections, incident investigations, and proof-of-route verification.
Render fully customized operational map views of your mine site — overlaying live asset positions, active geofence boundaries, restricted zones, and haul route polylines — in a purpose-built dispatch and monitoring interface.
Inject site-specific road rules directly into the routing engine — mark off-limits haulage corridors, set custom speed limits for haul roads, flag blast exclusion zones, and configure time-of-day access restrictions for specific vehicle classes.
Deploy NextBillion.ai's full geofencing and tracking stack within your own secure infrastructure. Ideal for mining operations with strict data sovereignty, air-gapped network requirements, or remote site deployments with limited cloud connectivity.
Import your mine site layout as GeoJSON or draw boundaries directly in the platform interface. Define zones for active pit areas, blast exclusion perimeters, restricted access corridors, equipment staging areas, and personnel-only regions — with surgical polygon precision.

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.
NextBillion.ai supports polygons, circles, corridors, and custom-shape geofences — all definable via the platform interface, GeoJSON import, or API. For mining, this means you can accurately trace irregular blast exclusion zones, pit perimeters, access corridors, and equipment staging areas rather than relying on imprecise radius circles that leave gaps or over-restrict operational areas. Geofences can be edited as pit boundaries or haul routes change over the life of the mine, without needing to rebuild tracking configurations from scratch.
