Multi-Stop Route Planner API for Developers

Build multi-stop routing into your product with APIs designed for real logistics complexity. NextBillion.ai helps developers optimize routes with 50+ constraints, large-scale matrix support, predictable pricing, and fast go-live support—so delivery, field service, and fleet applications can plan, dispatch, and adapt without the cost spikes common to pay-per-call mapping platforms.

Our Multi-Stop Route Planner API Services

Developer-ready APIs and tools for planning, optimizing, dispatching, and executing complex multi-stop routes at scale.

Route Optimization

Optimize multi-stop routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints, including capacity, time windows, shift limits, service times, and multi-depot planning for real-world logistics workflows.

Distance Matrix

Calculate large-scale travel times and distances for route planning, driver assignment, and ETA logic with support for high-volume origin-destination computations.

Route Dispatch

Push optimized routes directly into driver apps, telematics platforms, and fleet systems to connect planning with execution and reduce manual dispatcher handoffs.

Navigation API

Deliver turn-by-turn, vehicle-aware guidance for drivers handling multi-stop routes, with traffic-aware ETAs and support for commercial routing preferences.

Clustering API

Group stops into efficient geographic clusters before optimization to improve solver speed, depot allocation, and territory design for large route plans.

AI Routing

Train routing logic on historical fleet performance to generate multi-stop plans that better reflect actual driver behavior, stop times, and recurring corridor patterns.

Developer-First Platform

Built for Complex Multi-Stop Routing

NextBillion.ai gives developers the infrastructure to build multi-stop route planning that works in production, not just in demos. Use APIs and SDKs to optimize thousands of stops, apply operational constraints, dispatch routes, and support live execution with tracking and navigation. With per-order or per-vehicle pricing, fast implementation support, and cloud or on-premise deployment, teams can scale routing without losing cost control or flexibility.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a multi-stop route planner API?

A multi-stop route planner API lets developers programmatically sequence stops, assign them to vehicles or drivers, and generate efficient routes based on travel time, distance, and operational constraints. Instead of manually planning routes, your application can automate route creation for deliveries, field visits, pickups, inspections, or service calls while accounting for factors like capacity, time windows, and shift limits.

How is this different from a basic directions API?

Can the API handle large route plans with many stops?

What routing constraints are supported?

How quickly can developers get started?

Does NextBillion.ai offer predictable pricing for routing APIs?

Can I deploy the route planner API on-premise?
