Geofencing API
Define, manage, and monitor custom virtual geographic boundaries — polygons, circles, corridors, or custom shapes — and trigger real-time automated workflows the moment an asset enters, exits, or dwells within any zone.
NextBillion.ai's Geofencing API & SDK empowers logistics operators, fleet managers, and developers to define custom virtual boundaries and trigger real-time automated actions the instant an asset crosses them. From proof-of-delivery automation to restricted zone enforcement and proximity-based dispatch, transform raw location data into operational intelligence — without manual monitoring or runaway API costs.
Comprehensive geofencing capabilities to automate workflows, enforce boundaries, and power real-time location intelligence for any fleet or platform.
Define, manage, and monitor custom virtual geographic boundaries — polygons, circles, corridors, or custom shapes — and trigger real-time automated workflows the moment an asset enters, exits, or dwells within any zone.
Fire automated event notifications for proof-of-delivery, depot check-ins, customer ETA alerts, unauthorized asset movement, and curbside pickup readiness the instant a boundary event is detected.
Designate geofences as routing no-go zones fed directly into the routing engine, automatically keeping vehicles away from congested areas, school zones, or compliance-sensitive restricted sites.
Use geofencing in conjunction with isochrone calculations to allocate delivery or service territories and enable smart proximity matching — pairing orders or passengers to the nearest available asset instantly.
Receive instant alerts when high-value cargo or fleet vehicles move outside authorized operating areas or predefined safe zones, enabling proactive security response without manual oversight.
Trigger personalized push notifications, promotional offers, and loyalty rewards when customers or delivery vehicles approach defined locations — powering curbside pickup and location-based retention programs.
NextBillion.ai's Geofencing API & SDK goes far beyond drawing circles on a map. Geofences integrate natively with the routing engine, live tracking, and dispatch workflows — so a boundary crossing doesn't just log an event, it triggers proof-of-delivery confirmation, re-routes a vehicle, reassigns a task, or notifies a customer automatically. For logistics platforms and fleet operators managing hundreds of concurrent assets, this eliminates the manual monitoring overhead that erodes operations team capacity and creates costly delays.

Built by veterans of Grab's Geo team, NextBillion.ai delivers enterprise-grade geofencing with the flexibility, pricing transparency, and integration depth that generic mapping APIs simply cannot match.
Geofencing events connect directly to routing, dispatch, and live tracking APIs — enabling end-to-end automated workflows without custom middleware.
Per-vehicle and per-order pricing models eliminate per-API-call cost explosions as geofence event volumes scale with fleet growth.
A 99.9% uptime SLA, SOC 2 Type II certification, and on-premise deployment options ensure geofencing infrastructure that enterprises can depend on.
Dedicated solutions engineering support available around the clock accelerates integration and resolves production issues for global fleet operations.
Location intelligence veterans building enterprise geofencing for the real world.
Co-Founder
Gaurav drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in location technology built across some of the world's most demanding logistics and mobility environments. Before co-founding NextBillion.ai, Gaurav built successful products from scratch across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics at Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley. His firsthand experience with the limitations of off-the-shelf geospatial APIs — inflexible, expensive, and poorly suited to enterprise logistics — directly shaped NextBillion.ai's approach: flexible, developer-friendly geofencing and routing infrastructure designed for real operational complexity. Under his product leadership, NextBillion.ai has delivered over $11 million in cost savings to customers and optimized more than 10.9 million deliveries globally.

Ajay Bulusu is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai, a company born from the belief that enterprise-grade location intelligence should be accessible, customizable, and cost-effective for businesses of all sizes. Ajay, along with his co-founders, built the foundations of NextBillion.ai after years working on Grab's Geo team — where they experienced firsthand the operational impact of precise geofencing, routing, and location data at scale across Southeast Asia's most complex logistics markets. His vision for an API-first, developer-friendly geospatial platform has helped NextBillion.ai grow to serve 150+ businesses globally, navigate over 557 million miles, and attract backing from investors including Lightspeed and Microsoft's M12 venture fund.

Shaolin Zheng is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai and a core architect of the company's technical vision for scalable, enterprise-grade location intelligence. Shaolin's background on the Geo team at Grab — one of Southeast Asia's largest super-apps — gave him deep exposure to the engineering challenges of building geofencing and routing systems that must perform reliably at massive scale, across diverse geographies, and under real-time operational pressure. That experience directly informs NextBillion.ai's infrastructure: low-latency, high-throughput geofencing APIs built for logistics platforms managing thousands of concurrent assets. Since the company's 2020 launch, his technical leadership has underpinned a platform that has raised $34.25M in venture capital and delivered measurable cost savings to over 150 global customers.
Geofencing in software is the practice of defining a virtual geographic boundary — a polygon, circle, or custom shape — around a real-world location, and programming automated actions to occur when a tracked asset (vehicle, device, or person) enters, exits, or lingers within that boundary. In logistics and fleet management software, geofencing powers proof-of-delivery automation, arrival alerts, restricted zone enforcement, and proximity-based dispatch without manual monitoring.
