Route Optimization
Plan multi-stop specimen pickup and medical delivery routes with time windows, vehicle constraints, service times, and dynamic re-optimization for changing daily demand.
Optimize time-sensitive specimen pickups, lab runs, and medical courier dispatch with software built for healthcare logistics. NextBillion.ai helps teams plan compliant routes, assign drivers intelligently, track vehicles live, and maintain reliable ETAs across high-volume, multi-stop operations without unpredictable API costs. Healthcare logistics operators face constraints that generic delivery software was not built to handle: strict pickup time windows, chain-of-custody documentation, temperature-sensitive cargo, and multi-stop routes spanning hospitals, clinics, labs, and pharmacies. NextBillion.ai's routing and dispatch infrastructure is built for these operational realities, giving fleet managers the tools to plan efficient routes, monitor drivers in real time, and generate audit-ready trip records. The platform scales with fleet size and route complexity, so growing courier networks can maintain service reliability without renegotiating pricing or rebuilding their tech stack as volume increases.
Purpose-built routing, dispatch, tracking, and compliance tools for healthcare courier networks handling time-sensitive pickups and deliveries.
Plan multi-stop specimen pickup and medical delivery routes with time windows, vehicle constraints, service times, and dynamic re-optimization for changing daily demand.
Monitor courier locations in real time, improve ETA accuracy, and maintain visibility across lab runs, clinic pickups, and urgent healthcare deliveries.
Automate arrival, departure, and dwell-time events at labs, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies to support proof of pickup and chain-of-custody workflows.
Assign the right courier to each route or pickup based on proximity, workload, and operational rules to reduce delays and dispatcher effort.
Provide drivers with turn-by-turn navigation and route guidance that stays aligned with planned medical courier routes and updated ETAs.
Connect routing intelligence with telematics, fleet platforms, and internal healthcare logistics systems for smoother execution and reporting.
NextBillion.ai gives medical courier teams the routing infrastructure needed to manage specimen pickups, lab deliveries, pharmacy runs, and other regulated healthcare movements with greater precision. The platform combines optimization, dispatch, tracking, geofencing, and audit-ready trip visibility in one stack, helping operators improve on-time performance, reduce manual planning, and scale high-volume healthcare logistics with predictable pricing. Route optimization accounts for time windows, driver shifts, and service durations, so dispatchers can plan recurring specimen runs or adjust same-day schedules as new pickups arrive. Geofencing automates arrival, departure, and dwell-time events at clinics, hospitals, and labs, reducing reliance on manual status updates. Live tracking and ETA monitoring give operations teams visibility into route adherence and delays as they happen. Because the platform is API-first, healthcare logistics teams can build these capabilities directly into their existing dispatch, fleet, or workflow systems rather than adopting a standalone application.

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.
For medical courier operations, the best routing app is not a consumer navigation tool but an operational platform built for multi-stop optimization, time windows, and proof-of-arrival events. It needs to handle route replanning as pickups are added, dispatch workflows for driver assignment, and live ETA tracking across clinics, labs, and pharmacies. NextBillion.ai is built for these operational requirements rather than point-to-point personal navigation, making it suited to courier networks managing regulated, time-sensitive deliveries at scale.
