Frequently asked questions

Transport cost optimization is the process of reducing logistics and freight expenses by finding the most efficient combination of transporters, fleet, routes, and operational constraints—without compromising delivery performance.
NextBillion.ai’s Route Optimization API supports this by allowing users to configure different cost parameters (fixed, per-hour, per-km, per-order) for each vehicle. It intelligently prefers lower-cost routes while considering other constraints like time windows and task locations. This enables businesses to minimize overall transport spend and analyze incurred costs to identify the most cost-effective logistics partners.

It helps you cut down unnecessary expenses by selecting the most cost-effective carriers, routes, and fleet mix while meeting delivery deadlines, capacity needs, and compliance requirements.

Key factors include carrier rates, vehicle types, load capacity, delivery time windows, fuel consumption, driver shifts, and regulatory constraints like Hours of Service (HOS).

Yes. NextBillion.ai helps balance your use of owned, leased, and third-party vehicles to reduce costs while maximizing utilization and delivery efficiency.

We ingest and normalize rate cards from multiple carriers to provide apples-to-apples comparisons—including base rates, fuel surcharges, accessorial fees, and time-based pricing.

Absolutely. NextBillion.ai platform adapts your fleet and transporter mix dynamically based on volume forecasts, helping you avoid costly last-minute rentals or premium freight charges.

NextBillion.ai system considers both cost and service-level constraints—so transporters that don’t meet time windows, cargo requirements, or reliability thresholds are deprioritized.

Yes, NextBillion.ai supports real-time and pre-planned route optimization, factoring in live traffic, curbside requirements, vehicle capacity, and transporter availability.

Yes. We provide transporter scorecards that track on-time delivery, damage claims, and SLA compliance to help you choose based on both cost and quality.

Yes. You can automate load tendering and run competitive bids to select the most cost-effective option per shipment or route.

By consolidating loads, reducing empty miles, and optimizing delivery sequences, our solution minimizes unnecessary driving and fuel consumption.

Yes. NextBillion.ai platform offers APIs and connectors to integrate with your TMS, ERP, WMS, or carrier systems for seamless operations and data sync.

We sync with live carrier rate cards, vehicle telemetry, and operational data to ensure all cost inputs and constraints are up to date and accurate.

Retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, logistics, FMCG, and healthcare businesses that deal with high delivery volumes or complex shipping needs benefit greatly.

Many businesses start seeing cost savings within the first few weeks of implementation—especially when automating carrier selection and reducing inefficient fleet usage.
