Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints in seconds. Supports large-fleet re-optimization, seasonal demand spikes, and predictable fixed-monthly pricing with no per-call cost surprises.
Building a Transportation Management System that actually performs at scale means your APIs need to handle real-world complexity — truck-compliant routing, live tracking, large matrix computations, and dynamic dispatch without per-call cost penalties. NextBillion.ai gives developers a comprehensive, low-latency API suite purpose-built for TMS integration, with predictable pricing and sub-second response times.
A complete API suite for developers building scalable, intelligent transportation management systems without infrastructure overhead.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints in seconds. Supports large-fleet re-optimization, seasonal demand spikes, and predictable fixed-monthly pricing with no per-call cost surprises.
Compute up to 25 million origin-destination pairs in a single call. Supports truck-specific dimensions, real-time traffic ETAs, and custom road attributes — eliminating the 25×25 matrix ceiling of legacy providers.
Track every vehicle and field agent with up to 1-meter accuracy in real time. Supports offline buffering, configurable event alerts, mileage reporting, and native integration with Samsara, Geotab, and custom driver apps.
Automate the planning-to-execution handoff by pushing optimized routes directly to driver apps and fleet management platforms. Supports real-time dynamic reassignment and task re-routing without manual dispatcher intervention.
Define, manage, and trigger automated workflows from virtual boundaries. Powers proof-of-delivery confirmation, zone-based dispatch, restricted area enforcement, and customer arrival notifications across your TMS.
Deliver vehicle-specific, constraint-aware turn-by-turn navigation for HGVs, delivery vans, and motorcycles. Integrates custom road attributes, real-time traffic, and departure-time routing in a low-latency REST API and mobile SDKs.
Most mapping APIs were designed for consumer navigation — not the operational complexity of a commercial TMS. NextBillion.ai's developer-first API platform is engineered for logistics: sub-second response times, no artificial matrix size caps, truck-compliant routing, on-premise deployment for data-residency mandates, and per-vehicle pricing that doesn't punish re-optimization cycles. Whether you're building an in-house TMS or embedding routing intelligence into a logistics SaaS, the entire stack integrates and goes live within a week.

Founders who built geo-intelligence at Grab, Ola, and beyond.
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.
An API (Application Programming Interface) in a TMS (Transportation Management System) is a programmatic connection that enables the TMS to exchange data with external services — such as routing engines, mapping providers, tracking systems, and ERP platforms. TMS APIs allow developers to automate route planning, dispatch, live tracking, and ETA calculations without manual data entry, creating a connected, real-time operational system.
