Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, and truck-compliance rules — at predictable per-vehicle pricing.
Enterprise logistics operations demand more than basic routing — they need intelligent, constraint-aware optimization that scales with millions of stops, absorbs demand spikes, and integrates seamlessly into existing TMS and fleet platforms. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API delivers dispatch-ready routes in seconds with 50+ constraints, predictable per-vehicle pricing, and sub-second response times built for the complexity you actually operate at.
End-to-end routing intelligence covering optimization, dispatch, tracking, and distance computation for enterprise-scale logistics operations.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, and truck-compliance rules — at predictable per-vehicle pricing.
Compute real-time and historical travel times and distances across matrices up to 5,000×5,000 — providing the cost matrix foundation for routing solvers, driver assignment, and ETA feeds without per-call pricing penalties.
Automate the planning-to-execution handoff by pushing optimized routes directly to driver apps and fleet management systems in real time, eliminating manual re-entry and reducing dispatch time from minutes to seconds.
Assign drivers to tasks instantly using flexible dispatch logic, smart 1:1 matching, real-time dynamic reassignment, and advanced business rules covering driver preferences, shift timings, and location familiarity.
Gain real-time visibility into every vehicle and field agent with sub-meter location precision, configurable event alerts, offline tracking support, and native integration with route optimization and dispatch workflows.
Pre-segment large stop volumes into proximity-based, constraint-aware clusters before optimization — reducing routing complexity, improving zone assignments, and enabling parallel multi-fleet planning at enterprise scale.
Generic routing APIs break under enterprise logistics pressure — per-call pricing explodes with re-optimization cycles, 25×25 matrix limits force costly batching, and car-routing assumptions fail commercial fleets. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API is purpose-built for the complexity enterprises actually face: millions of stops, truck-specific routing rules, regulatory compliance, and demand volatility. With predictable monthly pricing, sub-second response times, and a 99.9% uptime SLA, it gives product and operations teams the routing intelligence to scale without budget surprises or engineering bottlenecks.

Co-Founder
Gaurav drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in building enterprise-grade location and logistics products from the ground up. His career spans some of the world's most demanding mobility and delivery platforms — Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley — where he architected solutions that scaled to millions of daily operations. At NextBillion.ai, Gaurav channels that experience into designing routing and optimization APIs that solve the real constraints enterprise logistics teams face: predictable pricing, truck-compliant routing, and infrastructure that performs under the pressure of high-volume, margin-sensitive operations. His product philosophy is grounded in the belief that sophisticated location intelligence should be accessible, configurable, and genuinely aligned to how logistics businesses actually work — not how consumer mapping products assume they do.

Ajay Bulusu is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai and a driving force behind the company's vision to make enterprise-grade location intelligence accessible and affordable for logistics businesses worldwide. With roots in the Geo team at Grab — one of Southeast Asia's most complex logistics and mobility platforms — Ajay developed a firsthand understanding of how routing infrastructure either enables or limits operational scale. He recognized that most available solutions were expensive, rigid, and designed for generic use cases, leaving real logistics challenges unsolved. That insight became the founding motivation for NextBillion.ai. Today, Ajay leads initiatives that have helped the platform optimize over 10.9 million deliveries, navigate 557+ million miles, and deliver measurable cost savings to 150+ enterprise customers globally.

Shaolin Zheng is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai and a core architect of the platform's technical foundation. As part of the founding team that originally collaborated at Grab's Geo team, Shaolin brings deep technical expertise in geospatial systems, routing algorithms, and large-scale location data infrastructure. His engineering background has been instrumental in building a platform capable of processing distance matrices up to 5,000×5,000, delivering sub-second route optimization at enterprise throughput, and supporting on-premise deployment for organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements. Shaolin's work ensures that NextBillion.ai's API infrastructure meets the reliability, latency, and scale demands of global logistics enterprises — from last-mile delivery platforms to long-haul trucking operations managing thousands of daily routes.
A logistics API is a software interface that allows different systems — TMS platforms, fleet management tools, driver apps, and ERPs — to exchange data and trigger actions programmatically. In route optimization, an API processes stop lists, constraints, and vehicle data to return optimized routes, ETAs, and dispatch instructions in real time, eliminating manual planning steps and enabling automation across the entire delivery or field service workflow.
