Our Last Mile Delivery API Services

API-first routing, dispatch, tracking, and visibility tools built for high-volume eCommerce delivery operations.

Last-Mile Routing

Plan same-day, scheduled, and on-demand delivery routes across multi-depot networks with capacity, shift, time-window, and proof-of-delivery workflows built into one integrated stack.

AI Route Optimization

Use machine learning trained on fleet history, driver completion patterns, traffic behavior, and address-level performance to create routes drivers can execute reliably in the field.

Distance Matrix API

Calculate travel times, distances, and ETAs across massive origin-destination sets with traffic-aware and truck-specific routing, supporting matrices up to 5,000 by 5,000.

Route Dispatch API

Push optimized routes directly to driver apps, fleet systems, and telematics platforms while supporting dynamic reassignment when traffic, orders, or vehicle availability changes.

Live Tracking API

Track drivers, vehicles, and delivery agents in real time with configurable alerts, offline tracking, mileage reporting, and SDKs for Android, iOS, and Flutter.

Geofencing API

Create virtual boundaries around depots, delivery zones, restricted areas, or curbside pickup locations to automate arrival alerts, proof-of-delivery events, and customer notifications.

Ajay Bulusu

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a last mile delivery?

Last mile delivery is the final stage of fulfillment, where an order moves from a depot, store, dark store, fulfillment center, or local hub to the customer’s doorstep. It is often the most complex and expensive delivery phase because it involves tight time windows, traffic, driver availability, failed deliveries, customer communication, and real-time route changes.
