Our AI-Powered Routing & Load Building Services

From route optimization and driver dispatch to live tracking and distance matrix computation, our platform covers every logistics workflow.

Route Optimization Software

Automatically generate dispatch-ready, multi-stop routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints—covering vehicle capacity, time windows, driver shifts, and regulatory compliance—in seconds, at any scale.

Distance Matrix API

Calculate real-time travel times, distances, and ETAs across matrices up to 5,000×5,000 origins and destinations in a single API call—without per-call pricing penalties or batching limitations.

Driver Assignment API

Instantly assign drivers to tasks using dynamic parameters including location familiarity, shift timing, order priority, and driver preferences—with real-time reassignment when plans change mid-operation.

Route Dispatch API

Automate the handoff from optimized route planning to on-road execution by pushing dispatch-ready routes directly to driver apps and fleet management systems the moment planning is complete.

Live Tracking API

Monitor every vehicle in real time with sub-meter location precision, configurable alerts for speeding or route deviation, and offline tracking support for low-connectivity zones.

Clustering API

Pre-segment large volumes of delivery stops and service tasks into geographically coherent clusters before routing—reducing optimization complexity, minimizing dead miles, and balancing driver workloads.

Meet the NextBillion.ai Founders

A founding team with deep roots in global-scale location technology.

Gaurav Bubna, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Gaurav Bubna

Co-Founder

Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing firsthand experience building industry-defining products across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics. He has held key product roles at Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley—each time tackling the challenge of making complex systems work reliably at scale. At NextBillion.ai, Gaurav channels that experience into building a routing and mapping platform that gives logistics operators enterprise-grade intelligence without enterprise-level complexity or cost. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that sophisticated location technology should be accessible and genuinely useful to businesses of all sizes, not just the largest tech-enabled enterprises. Gaurav co-founded NextBillion.ai in 2020 alongside Ajay Bulusu and Shaolin Zheng following their shared work on Grab's Geo team, where they first identified the gap between what existing location platforms offered and what logistics operations actually needed.

Ajay Bulusu, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Ajay Bulusu

Co-Founder

Ajay Bulusu is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai and a driving force behind the company's mission to make advanced location technology accessible to logistics and transportation businesses worldwide. Ajay's journey into location intelligence began during his time at Grab's Geo team in 2017, where he collaborated with Gaurav Bubna and Shaolin Zheng and witnessed firsthand how powerful—and how critically underserved—geospatial technology was for real-world logistics operations. In 2020, Ajay co-founded NextBillion.ai with the vision of building a more flexible, cost-effective, and operationally relevant alternative to dominant mapping and routing providers. Under his leadership, the company has raised $34.25M in venture capital, served over 150 businesses globally, and in 2025 became part of Velocitor Solutions, marking a pivotal expansion into enterprise telematics and fleet management.

Shaolin Zheng, Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai

Shaolin Zheng

Co-Founder

Shaolin Zheng is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai, bringing deep technical and operational expertise to the platform's architecture and global expansion. Like his co-founders, Shaolin's work began at Grab's Geo team in 2017, where the three identified a fundamental gap in the location technology market: existing solutions were expensive, inflexible, and built for generic use cases rather than the nuanced demands of logistics, transportation, and fleet management businesses. In 2020, Shaolin joined Ajay Bulusu and Gaurav Bubna in launching NextBillion.ai to address this gap head-on. The platform now powers routing and mapping for over 150 businesses globally—including DoorDash, AB InBev, and Gojek—and has navigated over 557 million miles, reflecting the scale and reliability that Shaolin and the team have built into the platform from its foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI-powered routing and how does it differ from traditional route planning?

AI-powered routing uses machine learning algorithms and real-time data to automatically generate optimal multi-stop routes that account for dozens of simultaneous constraints—vehicle capacity, time windows, driver hours, truck dimensions, and traffic conditions. Traditional route planning relies on manual sequencing or basic shortest-path logic, which cannot handle the complexity of real-world logistics at scale without significant human intervention and error.

What types of constraints does the route optimization engine support?

How does NextBillion.ai's pricing compare to Google Maps or HERE Maps?

Can the platform handle truck-specific routing with height, weight, and axle restrictions?

How quickly can NextBillion.ai be integrated into an existing TMS or fleet management system?

Is on-premise deployment available for organizations with data residency requirements?

What size of distance matrix can the API handle in a single call?

Does the platform support real-time route updates and dynamic dispatch during active shifts?
