--- title: Route Optimization API for Efficient Routing and Scheduling description: AI-Powered Mapping Platform for Enterprises - Map APIs, SDKs & Map Tools url: https://nextbillion.ai/route-optimization-api type: page published: 2023-12-15 updated: 2024-04-03 --- # NextBillion.ai — Route Optimization API for Specialty Logistics > Generate delivery and field service routes that bring no surprises on the road (or in the bills). NextBillion.ai provides dispatch-ready route planning with custom constraints and non-API pricing. **Status:** Enterprise API · 24x7 Support Available --- ## Hero Generate delivery & field service routes that bring no surprises on the road (or in the bills). Stop relying on spreadsheet calculations and local knowledge as your routing needs grow bigger and trickier. Free up developers from building custom logic with a route solver that adapts to your exact optimization needs. - **Reduce daily operational costs** — Optimize travel distance, driver time, and vehicle utilization. - **Grow fulfillment capacity** — Fulfill ad hoc orders and handle seasonal demand spikes without budget overruns. - **Boost customer satisfaction** — Meet tight delivery windows and provide accurate ETAs.

**50+ Hard and Soft Constraints** — Combine time windows, vehicle capacities, driver breaks, hazmat rules, and turn restrictions into a single optimization request. - **Task Sequencing** — Include prerequisites like tool pickups, vehicle refueling, or inspection stops as mandatory steps in the route itinerary. - **Ad Hoc Re-optimization** — Insert urgent orders or service calls into active routes with minimal displacement to existing schedules. - **Non-API Pricing** — Pay based on orders or vehicles solved rather than per API call to keep operational costs predictable. --- ## Industry Solutions - **Long Haul Trucking** — Legally compliant routes respecting vehicle dimensions, axle weights, and hazardous material regulations across borders. - **Last Mile Delivery** — High-density order grouping, time-slot scheduling, and precise customer notification triggers. - **Field Services** — Automated scheduling and agent allocation for HVAC, pest control, home healthcare, and landscaping. - **Middle Mile Logistics** — Fixed-route optimization, terminal transfers, and high-volume hub-to-hub routing. --- ## Tutorials & Implementation Topics 1. **Basic Route Optimization** — Setting up baseline stops, vehicles, and depot locations. 2. **Task Sequencing** — Logical routing with mandatory pickup-before-dropoff rules. 3. **Equal Task Distribution** — Balancing workload evenly across drivers and field agents. 4. **Custom Cost Matrix** — Factoring fuel, labor, maintenance, and toll costs into route selection. 5. **Re-optimization** — Dynamically adjusting active routes to handle last-minute insertions. 6. **Soft Constraints** — Flexible time windows with penalty costs for slight delays. 7. **Order Grouping & Zone Allocations** — Consolidating nearby tasks and assigning geographic zones. --- ## Company Locations -
