Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready, constraint-aware pharmaceutical delivery routes in seconds. Supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle type, cold chain requirements, and regulatory compliance rules.
Pharmaceutical logistics demands more than speed — it requires precision, compliance, and an unbroken chain of custody. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API is engineered for pharma fleets managing cold chain deliveries, regulated transport, and multi-stop distribution runs where a missed time window or a route deviation isn't just a service failure — it's a compliance risk.
End-to-end routing intelligence purpose-built for the compliance, custody, and delivery precision demands of pharmaceutical logistics.
Generate dispatch-ready, constraint-aware pharmaceutical delivery routes in seconds. Supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle type, cold chain requirements, and regulatory compliance rules.
Rebuild complete, road-snapped trip records from GPS data for cold chain custody documentation, audit-ready compliance reporting, and proof-of-delivery verification required in regulated pharmaceutical transport.
Monitor every pharmaceutical delivery vehicle in real time with sub-meter location accuracy. Receive automated alerts for route deviations, unauthorized stops, or geofence breaches critical to drug chain-of-custody integrity.
Calculate precise travel times and ETAs between thousands of origins and destinations simultaneously, powering pre-trip planning for large pharmaceutical distribution networks without per-call cost penalties.
Define virtual boundaries around hospital dispensaries, pharmacy chains, and distribution hubs to automate arrival logging, proof-of-delivery confirmations, and unauthorized movement alerts for high-value pharmaceutical cargo.
Automatically push optimized pharmaceutical delivery routes to driver apps and fleet systems the moment planning is complete, eliminating manual handoffs that introduce error and delay in time-sensitive drug distribution.
Upload your pharmaceutical delivery orders via API or TMS integration. Configure 50+ constraints including cold chain vehicle classes, time windows for hospital or pharmacy delivery, hazardous material routing rules, and driver shift requirements — all in a single request.

Built for regulated, high-stakes logistics environments where precision, compliance, and cost control are non-negotiable.
Built-in route reconstruction and custody documentation meet pharmaceutical and cold chain regulatory audit requirements out of the box.
Per-vehicle or per-order pricing — not per-API-call — keeps costs stable even during high-volume pharmaceutical distribution runs or seasonal spikes.
Time windows, vehicle dimensions, hazardous material rules, cold chain classes, and shift requirements all handled in a single optimization call.
Dedicated solutions engineers provide hands-on integration support and go-live assistance, ensuring pharmaceutical operations never face routing downtime.
A team of location technology veterans building routing infrastructure for the world's most demanding logistics operations.
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.
The API supports vehicle-type-specific routing, allowing you to assign cold chain vehicles to temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical orders. You can configure vehicle capacity, permitted road types, and time windows per stop. Combined with the Route Reconstruction API, every cold chain trip generates a complete, timestamped journey record for custody documentation and regulatory audit purposes.
