Smart Truck Route Planning & Optimization

Long-haul trucking demands more than a standard GPS app. NextBillion.ai delivers AI-powered truck route planning that respects HGV restrictions, bridge weight limits, hazmat rules, and real-time traffic — so your fleet moves faster, stays compliant, and cuts fuel costs on every run. Discover how intelligent routing transforms your trucking operations from the ground up.

Our Truck Route Planning & Optimization Services

End-to-end routing solutions purpose-built for commercial trucking fleets — from HGV-compliant navigation to automated dispatch and live fleet tracking.

Route Optimization API

Generate dispatch-ready truck routes in seconds with 50+ hard and soft constraints — including vehicle dimensions, load capacity, time windows, and HGV road restrictions — at predictable fixed pricing.

Truck Navigation API

Deliver precise, turn-by-turn navigation tailored to commercial vehicle specifications — avoiding low-clearance bridges, weight-restricted roads, and truck-prohibited streets in real time.

Distance Matrix API

Calculate truck-accurate travel times and distances across matrices up to 5,000×5,000 — factoring in vehicle dimensions, axle load, and regulatory routing rules for reliable ETA computation.

Route Planner App

A no-code, browser-based planning tool that lets dispatchers import stop lists, apply truck constraints, visualize optimized routes on an interactive map, and push routes to drivers — no engineering required.

Live Tracking API

Monitor every truck in real time with sub-meter location accuracy. Configure alerts for speeding, idling, route deviation, and unauthorized movement — with offline tracking for low-connectivity corridors.

Road Editor App

Inject custom road rules directly into your routing engine — mark theft-prone corridors, flag no-parking zones, set safe overnight rest locations, and configure HGV restrictions by vehicle type and time of day.

Why Choose NextBillion.ai for Truck Route Optimization?

NextBillion.ai is the enterprise-grade routing platform built specifically for the operational complexity and cost sensitivity of commercial trucking.

Truck-Native Routing

Every route respects HGV restrictions, bridge weights, axle loads, and hazmat rules — no car-routing assumptions that fail at the first low-clearance underpass.

Predictable Pricing

Per-vehicle or per-order pricing means seasonal demand spikes and re-optimization cycles never trigger unexpected API billing overruns.

24/7 Expert Support

Around-the-clock hands-on support from NextBillion.ai solution engineers ensures your routing platform never goes dark during critical operations.

Enterprise Scale & Reliability

A 99.9% uptime SLA and sub-second response times power high-volume fleets processing millions of route calculations daily without performance degradation.

Meet the NextBillion.ai Founders

Built by logistics technology veterans who've scaled routing at a global level.

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.
