Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints—vehicle capacity, time windows, driver shifts, hazmat rules, and more—built for large-scale distribution fleets.
Distribution and supply chain operations demand routing intelligence that scales with your complexity—not against it. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API handles 50+ constraints, supports massive fleet sizes, and delivers dispatch-ready routes in seconds. From multi-depot trucking to last-mile fulfillment, eliminate dead miles, reduce operational costs, and keep every node in your supply chain moving on schedule.
End-to-end routing intelligence for every layer of your distribution and supply chain operation.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints—vehicle capacity, time windows, driver shifts, hazmat rules, and more—built for large-scale distribution fleets.
Compute travel times, distances, and ETAs between up to 5,000×5,000 origin-destination pairs in a single API call—powering cost-matrix inputs for route optimization and load planning across your network.
Automate the handoff from planning to execution by pushing optimized routes directly to driver apps and fleet management systems in real time—eliminating manual re-entry and dispatch delays.
Monitor every vehicle in your distribution network with sub-meter location accuracy, configurable alerts for route deviations, and live ETA recalculations that keep operations centers informed as conditions change.
Pre-segment large stop volumes into proximity-based, constraint-aware clusters before routing—reducing solver complexity, balancing driver workloads, and enabling rapid zone re-assignment during demand spikes.
Deliver vehicle-specific, turn-by-turn navigation to drivers that respects truck dimensions, weight restrictions, HGV-prohibited streets, and custom road attributes configured for your operational environment.
Connect your TMS, ERP, or order management system via REST API or CSV import. Define vehicle capacities, driver shift windows, depot start/end locations, delivery time windows, and regulatory constraints—including truck dimensions and hazmat classifications relevant to your distribution corridors.

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 Route Optimization API supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including vehicle load capacity, multi-compartment loads, delivery time windows, driver shift hours, depot start/end locations, maximum route duration and distance, priority stop ordering, truck dimension compliance (height, weight, axle load), hazardous material routing rules, and custom road attributes configured through the Road Editor App.
