Our Route Optimization API Services

End-to-end API capabilities purpose-built for compliant, time-critical medical equipment delivery operations.

Route Optimization API

Generate dispatch-ready routes in seconds for multi-stop medical equipment deliveries. Supports 50+ constraints including time windows, vehicle capacity, priority stops, and compliance-sensitive routing rules to meet healthcare SLAs.

Distance Matrix API

Calculate precise travel times and ETAs between thousands of origins and destinations simultaneously—ideal for assigning drivers to medical facilities and optimizing load planning across large healthcare delivery fleets.

Live Tracking API

Monitor every delivery vehicle in real time with sub-meter location accuracy. Receive automated alerts for route deviations, delays, or geofence events—giving dispatchers complete visibility over sensitive medical cargo in transit.

Route Dispatch API

Automatically push optimized routes from your planning engine directly to driver apps and fleet systems. Supports real-time dynamic reassignment when orders change, drivers are unavailable, or delivery priorities shift mid-shift.

Geofencing API

Define virtual boundaries around hospitals, clinics, and care facilities to trigger automated proof-of-delivery confirmations, arrival notifications, and compliance event logging the moment a driver enters a delivery zone.

Route Reconstruction API

Rebuild complete, road-snapped trip records from GPS data for audit-ready proof-of-service documentation—critical for pharmaceutical delivery custody chains, NEMT compliance reporting, and medical equipment SLA verification.

Experienced founders building enterprise-grade routing intelligence for critical logistics.

Ajay Bulusu, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Route Optimization API handle strict time windows for medical equipment deliveries?

The API supports hard time window constraints for every stop, ensuring routes are sequenced so drivers arrive within the specified delivery window at each hospital, clinic, or care facility. If a time window cannot be met due to traffic or scheduling conflicts, the optimizer flags the violation before dispatch so adjustments can be made proactively—never after the fact.

Can the API manage priority deliveries for critical or urgent medical equipment?

Does the API support compliance documentation for pharmaceutical and medical delivery regulations?

How does real-time dynamic reassignment work if a driver is unavailable mid-shift?

What vehicle types and constraints does the API support for medical logistics fleets?

How does pricing work—is it based on the number of API calls?

How quickly can the Route Optimization API be integrated into an existing healthcare logistics platform?

Is on-premise deployment available for healthcare organizations with data privacy requirements?
