Pharmaceutical logistics demands more than fast delivery — it requires chain-of-custody documentation, cold chain compliance, and zero tolerance for route deviation. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API is purpose-built for regulated distribution: enforcing time windows, vehicle constraints, hazmat routing rules, and audit-ready trip records across every delivery in your network.
End-to-end routing intelligence built for pharmaceutical distribution — from constraint-aware planning to compliant, auditable execution.
Generate dispatch-ready pharmaceutical delivery routes in seconds using 50+ hard and soft constraints — time windows, vehicle dimensions, hazmat rules, cold chain requirements, and driver shift compliance — without per-call pricing penalties.
Rebuild complete, road-snapped trip records from raw GPS data for pharmaceutical deliveries — producing audit-ready, time-stamped custody chain documentation that satisfies regulatory compliance, cold chain verification, and proof-of-delivery requirements.
Monitor every pharmaceutical delivery vehicle in real time with sub-meter accuracy. Receive automated alerts for route deviations, unauthorized stops, and geofence events — maintaining chain-of-custody visibility from depot to final delivery point.
Calculate real-time and historical ETAs between thousands of pharmaceutical distribution origins and destinations simultaneously — with truck-aware, hazmat-compliant routing and predictable pricing that handles re-optimization without budget overruns.
Push optimized pharmaceutical delivery routes directly to driver apps and fleet management systems the moment planning completes — eliminating manual handoffs, reducing dispatch time to seconds, and enabling dynamic reassignment when deliveries are added or rerouted mid-shift.
Deliver vehicle-specific, compliance-ready turn-by-turn navigation for pharmaceutical distribution fleets — routing around truck restrictions, weight-limited bridges, and hazmat-prohibited corridors with real-time and departure-time-based traffic intelligence.
Pharmaceutical logistics operates under constraints that standard routing APIs were never designed to handle. NextBillion.ai enforces hazmat routing rules, vehicle dimension compliance, cold chain time windows, and custody chain documentation requirements directly in the optimization engine — not as manual overrides after the fact. With predictable per-vehicle pricing, 99.9% uptime SLA, and on-premise deployment for data-residency-sensitive operations, pharmaceutical distributors gain routing infrastructure that matches the regulatory environment they actually operate in.
Purpose-built routing intelligence for pharmaceutical logistics — combining regulatory compliance, predictable pricing, and enterprise-grade reliability.
Enforce hazmat routing rules, HOS documentation, and cold chain custody records natively in every route calculation.
Per-vehicle or per-order pricing eliminates runaway API costs as re-optimization frequency and delivery volumes scale.
Model pharmaceutical-specific requirements — time windows, vehicle dimensions, hazmat restrictions, driver shifts — in a single optimization call.
Hands-on support from NextBillion.ai solutions engineers ensures fast integration, production readiness, and ongoing operational assistance.
Location intelligence veterans building routing infrastructure that works for demanding regulated industries.
Co-Founder
Ajay Bulusu is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in geospatial technology and large-scale logistics systems developed during his tenure on Grab's Geo team. In 2017, Ajay, alongside Gaurav Bubna and Shaolin Zheng, identified a fundamental gap in the market: location technology was expensive, inflexible, and designed for generic use cases — failing the specialized needs of regulated industries like pharmaceutical logistics, healthcare transport, and commercial trucking. Since co-founding NextBillion.ai in 2020, Ajay has helped steer the platform to serve 150+ global businesses, optimize over 10.9 million deliveries and tasks, and deliver more than $11 million in documented cost savings — establishing NextBillion.ai as the enterprise-grade routing alternative for margin-sensitive, compliance-critical logistics operations.
Co-Founder
Gaurav Bubna is Co-Founder and product leader at NextBillion.ai, with a proven track record of building successful technology products from scratch at globally recognized platforms including Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley. His experience spans ride-hailing, food delivery, and complex logistics operations — giving him a ground-level understanding of the operational pressures, regulatory requirements, and cost sensitivities that pharmaceutical and specialty logistics businesses face daily. At NextBillion.ai, Gaurav drives product innovation that translates into tangible business outcomes: the company has raised $34.25M in venture capital, navigated over 557 million miles, and in 2025 became part of Velocitor Solutions to further accelerate its enterprise logistics technology roadmap.
Co-Founder
Shaolin Zheng is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai, contributing deep technical expertise in geospatial systems and large-scale routing infrastructure developed through his work alongside Ajay and Gaurav on Grab's Geo team. Shaolin's engineering background underpins the architectural decisions that make NextBillion.ai's routing platform distinctive: sub-second response times, support for distance matrices up to 5,000×5,000, on-premise Kubernetes deployment for data-residency-sensitive industries, and a 99.9% uptime SLA suitable for mission-critical pharmaceutical distribution operations. His work ensures that the platform's technical foundation can absorb the scale, complexity, and compliance demands of pharmaceutical logistics clients operating globally.
The API supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including hazardous material routing rules, vehicle dimension compliance for regulated transport vehicles, time-window enforcement for temperature-sensitive deliveries, and driver HOS requirements. These constraints are applied directly in the optimization engine — not as post-processing filters — ensuring every generated route is compliant before it reaches the dispatcher.
