"NextBillion.ai solves the problem of providing a high-performance mapping platform at scale. We use them to generate large distance matrices that we use to solve unique geospatial routing problems that arise in the short-haul trucking industry."

James

Carson Stevens,

Data Engineer, Hawx Pest Control

"By substantially reducing the number of developer hours spent on scheduling, NextBillion.ai’s Route Optimization API and large Distance Matrix API have helped us improve our operational efficiency and increase our cost savings significantly!"

James

Jebu Ittiachen,

Chief Architect, Freight Tiger

"NextBillion.ai were quick to integrate with our data set and provide their solution tuned to our data. Ability to tune the eta models for targetted driving profiles with minimal effort is probably the standout experience."

Never worry about distance, matrix size, or
API calls when computing truck routes.

Frequently asked questions

Features

NextBillion.ai route planning APIs are designed for margin-sensitive logistics which need advanced constraints to solve complex and large-scale routing problems with predictable costs.

We use Open Street Maps and TomTom which allows us to tailor and control the quality of routes much better. That said, these maps are not hardcoded into our route solver. We swap in new map data depending on what works best for a given territory or routing problem.

Yes, on accuracy, NextBillion.ai route planning API is comparable to Google’s solution. We recommend you book a trial onboarding call and get a trial API key to compare the results.

NextBillion.ai route planning APIs support all countries and regions across the globe. We even swap in new map data depending on what works best for a given territory or truck routing problem.

Yes, like every other mapping solution, NextBillion.ai takes into account real-time traffic data to calculate distance matrices and suggest the most efficient routes.

NextBillion.ai route planning APIs support up to 10,000 stops for route optimization. And up to 5000x5000 matrix size for calculating distances and ETAs between origins and destinations.

We do have AI/ML capabilities in our roadmap. We can even create a unique instance for you if you want to teach the algorithm on your data.

Pricing

Besides the number of total API calls you make, we offer you the alternative of paying for the volume of orders you generate or the number of vehicles/agents you work with. Learn more about our pricing. Or simply talk to our sales team.

Yes, with NextBillion.ai, you can enable alerts when you reach 50%, 75%, and 90% of your allocated API usage.

No, we do not charge anything for support or professional services.

No, we are always eager to add capabilities based on market needs, and rather quickly. Some new features we are adding currently are - distance matrix caching for faster re-optimizations, zone-wise route sequencing, and zone-wise task grouping.

NextBillion.ai enters into annual contracts, with complete flexibility for modifying allocated API usage. We recommend you book a trial onboarding call to learn more.

Speed, scalability, and security

You can expect a response for many thousands of elements in about 5 seconds. (the number of origins times the number of destinations equals the number of elements).

We offer an on-contract guarantee of 99.9% uptime.

We are SOC2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified.

NextBillion.ai route planning is a cloud-based solution, regionally deployed and hosted in North America, Oregon(United States), Belgium, and Singapore.

Testing and deployment support

Yes, we offer a trial API key for a week or two so you can test it with your data and applications. This helps you check the accuracy of transit time and distance estimates and the efficiency of the routes. Plus, you can compare the results with your current route planning solution. It also helps you evaluate the speed and the scalability of our solution.

You can find comprehensive documentation on our website.

Yes, we recommend you book a trial onboarding call for that.

With the help of our support team, It takes you only a week to formulate and tune the route planning objective function for your unique use case and business goals, and to integrate the API with your applications.

Yes, we have a support team and location intelligence consultants to help you integrate and implement the route planning APIs effectively.

Yes, NextBillion.ai offers on-premise deployment and works hands-on with your engineering and operations teams to implement and integrate it with your existing systems and workflows.

Business continuity

NextBillion.ai works with over 100 large enterprises as well as fast-growing startups in specialty logistics. Catch a few case studies here.

NextBillion.ai was founded in 2020 by veterans in location intelligence space and we recently closed our series B funding. Besides, we are tied into contracts with big enterprises, so we are here to stay. We also provide a business continuity statement. Learn more about NextBillion.ai.
