Route Optimization
Plan multi-stop transit routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints, including vehicle capacity, time windows, shift hours, breaks, multi-depot dispatch, and complex routing rules at scale.
Modern transit networks need routing intelligence that balances rider expectations, operator constraints, budgets, and compliance. NextBillion.ai helps municipal transit agencies optimize fixed-route, shuttle, paratransit, and demand-response operations with configurable constraints, live ETAs, geofencing, dispatch APIs, and deployment flexibility—so teams can improve reliability, reduce miles, and scale service without unpredictable mapping costs.
Purpose-built routing, tracking, mapping, and deployment tools for complex public transit operations.
Plan multi-stop transit routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints, including vehicle capacity, time windows, shift hours, breaks, multi-depot dispatch, and complex routing rules at scale.
Use machine learning trained on historical fleet performance, traffic patterns, service deviations, and corridor behavior to generate routes that match real-world transit execution more closely.
Calculate real-time and historical travel times, distances, and ETAs across massive origin-destination sets, supporting large-scale planning beyond consumer mapping API limits.
Track vehicles and field assets in real time with configurable speed, idle, geofence, and route-deviation alerts, plus offline tracking for low-connectivity operating areas.
Define virtual boundaries around depots, stops, transfer points, restricted zones, and operating corridors to automate alerts, arrival logs, compliance actions, and routing rules.
Deploy complete routing and mapping infrastructure inside a Kubernetes environment, cloud VPC, or private data center for agencies with strict data-residency and procurement requirements.
NextBillion.ai gives municipal transit teams a configurable routing layer for fixed-route planning, paratransit scheduling, shuttle dispatch, and real-time service visibility. Agencies can model operational constraints, calculate accurate ETAs, enforce service zones, and integrate routing into existing systems while choosing SaaS, marketplace, or on-premise deployment. Predictable per-vehicle, per-order, and fixed monthly pricing helps protect budgets from usage spikes.
See how enterprise operators use NextBillion.ai to reduce cost, improve visibility, and scale routing performance.
"By substantially reducing the number of developer hours spent on scheduling, NextBillion.ai's MVRP and large Distance Matrix API have helped us improve our operational efficiency and increase our cost savings significantly!"
Built for complex transportation operations that need flexibility, scale, and predictable economics.
Model capacity, time windows, shifts, breaks, vehicle rules, and service policies in one engine.
Use per-vehicle, per-order, or fixed monthly models instead of volatile per-call billing.
Trial API keys are available for testing, with production go-live possible within one week.
SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 support public-sector requirements.
Geospatial leaders building enterprise-grade routing for operational scale.
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.
Route optimization software for municipal transit agencies helps planners and dispatch teams design efficient routes, schedules, assignments, and service zones using real road networks, traffic data, vehicle rules, and operating constraints. NextBillion.ai supports fixed-route, shuttle, paratransit, and demand-response use cases through APIs, SDKs, live tracking, geofencing, and configurable optimization logic.
