Explore the full suite of geospatial visualization and mapping capabilities built for logistics and transportation developers.
Foundational geospatial visualization layer for building logistics dashboards, dispatch consoles, and fleet monitoring apps. Powered by OpenStreetMap and TomTom data with full custom styling support.
Precise, real-time turn-by-turn navigation for commercial vehicles. Supports vehicle-specific routing, custom map attributes, multi-waypoint guidance, and real-time traffic intelligence.
Define and monitor virtual geographic boundaries to trigger automated workflows, proof-of-delivery confirmations, and real-time asset security alerts across your fleet.
Sub-meter real-time vehicle and driver tracking with configurable alerts, offline buffering, mileage reporting, and native integration with route optimization workflows.
Generate road-network-accurate travel-time and distance polygons to visualize service coverage, plan depot locations, and design driver territories based on real reachability.
No-code interface to inject custom road attributes — closures, speed limits, turn restrictions, plying permissions — directly into every routing and tile calculation without engineering effort.
NextBillion.ai's Map Tiles API delivers fast, customizable, and logistics-optimized tile rendering for teams building fleet dashboards, order tracking interfaces, and dispatch consoles. Unlike consumer mapping APIs that carry unpredictable per-call costs, our tile infrastructure is purpose-built for high-throughput applications — with flexible styling, swappable data sources, and native compatibility with routing, tracking, and geofencing APIs. Get accurate, performant map tiles without the billing surprises.
See how leading logistics and transportation teams use NextBillion.ai's mapping APIs to power real-world operations at scale.

The team behind the platform building accessible, enterprise-grade location intelligence.
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.
Map tiles are small, pre-rendered image or vector segments of a map divided into a grid at each zoom level. When a user pans or zooms on a map, the client requests only the tiles needed for the visible area. The server returns those tile images — styled and layered — which the client stitches together into a seamless map view. This approach enables fast rendering, efficient bandwidth use, and scalable map delivery at any resolution.
