Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready, constraint-aware pharmaceutical delivery routes in seconds. Supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle type, cold chain requirements, and regulatory compliance rules.
Pharmaceutical logistics demands more than speed — it requires precision, compliance, and an unbroken chain of custody. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API is engineered for pharma fleets managing cold chain deliveries, regulated transport, and multi-stop distribution runs where a missed time window or a route deviation isn't just a service failure — it's a compliance risk.
End-to-end routing intelligence purpose-built for the compliance, custody, and delivery precision demands of pharmaceutical logistics.
Generate dispatch-ready, constraint-aware pharmaceutical delivery routes in seconds. Supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including time windows, vehicle type, cold chain requirements, and regulatory compliance rules.
Rebuild complete, road-snapped trip records from GPS data for cold chain custody documentation, audit-ready compliance reporting, and proof-of-delivery verification required in regulated pharmaceutical transport.
Monitor every pharmaceutical delivery vehicle in real time with sub-meter location accuracy. Receive automated alerts for route deviations, unauthorized stops, or geofence breaches critical to drug chain-of-custody integrity.
Calculate precise travel times and ETAs between thousands of origins and destinations simultaneously, powering pre-trip planning for large pharmaceutical distribution networks without per-call cost penalties.
Define virtual boundaries around hospital dispensaries, pharmacy chains, and distribution hubs to automate arrival logging, proof-of-delivery confirmations, and unauthorized movement alerts for high-value pharmaceutical cargo.
Automatically push optimized pharmaceutical delivery routes to driver apps and fleet systems the moment planning is complete, eliminating manual handoffs that introduce error and delay in time-sensitive drug distribution.
Upload your pharmaceutical delivery orders via API or TMS integration. Configure 50+ constraints including cold chain vehicle classes, time windows for hospital or pharmacy delivery, hazardous material routing rules, and driver shift requirements — all in a single request.

Built for regulated, high-stakes logistics environments where precision, compliance, and cost control are non-negotiable.
Built-in route reconstruction and custody documentation meet pharmaceutical and cold chain regulatory audit requirements out of the box.
Per-vehicle or per-order pricing — not per-API-call — keeps costs stable even during high-volume pharmaceutical distribution runs or seasonal spikes.
Time windows, vehicle dimensions, hazardous material rules, cold chain classes, and shift requirements all handled in a single optimization call.
Dedicated solutions engineers provide hands-on integration support and go-live assistance, ensuring pharmaceutical operations never face routing downtime.
A team of location technology veterans building routing infrastructure for the world's most demanding logistics operations.
Co-Founder
Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing a rare combination of deep technical expertise and hands-on experience scaling location technology products across some of the world's most demanding logistics environments. Before co-founding NextBillion.ai, Gaurav built successful products from the ground up across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics at Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley — giving him firsthand insight into the routing complexity, compliance challenges, and cost pressures that logistics operators face daily. For pharmaceutical logistics teams, this translates into a routing API designed not around theoretical use cases, but around the real operational constraints — cold chain compliance, custody documentation, and time-critical delivery windows — that define regulated pharmaceutical distribution.
Co-Founder
Ajay Bulusu is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, where he brings the geospatial engineering vision that drives the platform's core routing and mapping infrastructure. Ajay's journey to building NextBillion.ai began in 2017 at Grab's Geo team, where he and his co-founders experienced firsthand the limitations of generic mapping APIs when applied to the precise, high-throughput routing demands of large-scale logistics operations. That experience became the foundation for NextBillion.ai's API-first architecture — purpose-built for logistics operators who need constraint-aware, compliance-ready routing that scales without exponentially growing API costs. For pharmaceutical logistics in particular, Ajay's engineering philosophy ensures that every route calculation accounts for the regulatory, vehicle, and custody chain requirements that make pharma delivery uniquely demanding.
Co-Founder
Shaolin Zheng is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai and a key architect of the platform's scalable geospatial intelligence infrastructure. Alongside Ajay and Gaurav, Shaolin helped identify the core gap in the location technology market while working at Grab's Geo team — a gap defined by expensive, inflexible mapping APIs that couldn't adapt to the specific operational constraints of logistics businesses. At NextBillion.ai, Shaolin's technical leadership has been instrumental in building routing capabilities that handle the complexity pharmaceutical logistics demands: large-scale distance matrix computations, truck-compliant vehicle-dimension routing, and the audit-ready route reconstruction features that support cold chain compliance and drug custody documentation across global distribution networks.
The API supports vehicle-type-specific routing, allowing you to assign cold chain vehicles to temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical orders. You can configure vehicle capacity, permitted road types, and time windows per stop. Combined with the Route Reconstruction API, every cold chain trip generates a complete, timestamped journey record for custody documentation and regulatory audit purposes.
