Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds using 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle capacity, shift hours, and hazmat rules — purpose-built for large-scale logistics.
NextBillion.ai's Transport Route Planners API suite gives logistics, delivery, and fleet platforms the routing intelligence they need to plan smarter, dispatch faster, and cut operational costs. From real-time distance matrices to multi-stop optimization with 50+ constraints, our APIs are built for scale — with predictable pricing that won't punish growth. The suite covers truck-specific routing, driver and vehicle constraints, and time-window planning, so US fleets, field service operations, and delivery platforms can move beyond generic mapping tools. Whether you operate a national trucking network, a last-mile delivery fleet, or a mobility SaaS product, the APIs are built for production use from day one, with deployment options spanning major cloud providers and on-premise environments for data-sensitive operations.
End-to-end routing APIs for every stage of your logistics operation — from planning and optimization to dispatch and live navigation.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds using 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle capacity, shift hours, and hazmat rules — purpose-built for large-scale logistics.
Compute precise, truck-compliant, single-vehicle routes with multi-waypoint support, toll and highway avoidance, and vehicle-specific dimension constraints for high-performing transport operations.
Calculate real-time and historical travel times, distances, and ETAs across matrices up to 5,000×5,000 — eliminating costly per-call pricing and batching overhead for large-fleet operations.
Deliver vehicle-specific, turn-by-turn navigation with real-time traffic intelligence, custom road attribute integration, and HGV-compliant routing for commercial fleets and driver apps.
Automate the handoff from optimized route plan to driver app, with real-time dynamic reassignment and seamless integration with telematics platforms like Samsara and Geotab.
A no-code web interface that lets dispatchers import stops, optimize routes with enterprise-grade algorithms, make visual adjustments, and push dispatch-ready routes — all without writing code.
NextBillion.ai's Transport Route Planners API suite is engineered for transportation and logistics platforms that outgrow generic mapping tools. Whether you're running a national delivery fleet, a field service operation, or a mobility SaaS platform, our APIs handle real-world complexity — truck-specific restrictions, 50+ optimization constraints, and predictable per-vehicle pricing that keeps costs stable as order volumes scale. Backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA and sub-second response times, every API is production-ready from day one. The suite includes distance matrix, directions, navigation, and route optimization APIs that can be used independently or combined into a single dispatch workflow. Truck-specific parameters — height, weight, axle load, and hazardous material restrictions — are supported natively, so routes respect commercial vehicle regulations rather than relying on car-routing assumptions. Deployment options include major cloud providers and on-premise Kubernetes environments, making the suite suitable for logistics operations with strict data residency or compliance requirements, including those governed by FMCSA and DOT regulations.

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.
Free route planners such as Google Maps or OpenStreetMap-based tools work for simple point-to-point navigation, but they lack multi-stop optimization, vehicle-specific constraints, and dispatch integration. For commercial fleet operations with multiple stops, time windows, or truck restrictions, free tools become impractical at scale. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API and Route Planner App are built for these operational needs, with pricing that scales predictably rather than per API call.
