Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints—vehicle capacity, time windows, driver shifts, hazmat rules, and more—built for large-scale distribution fleets.
Distribution and supply chain operations demand routing intelligence that scales with your complexity—not against it. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API handles 50+ constraints, supports massive fleet sizes, and delivers dispatch-ready routes in seconds. From multi-depot trucking to last-mile fulfillment, eliminate dead miles, reduce operational costs, and keep every node in your supply chain moving on schedule.
End-to-end routing intelligence for every layer of your distribution and supply chain operation.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds with support for 50+ hard and soft constraints—vehicle capacity, time windows, driver shifts, hazmat rules, and more—built for large-scale distribution fleets.
Compute travel times, distances, and ETAs between up to 5,000×5,000 origin-destination pairs in a single API call—powering cost-matrix inputs for route optimization and load planning across your network.
Automate the handoff from planning to execution by pushing optimized routes directly to driver apps and fleet management systems in real time—eliminating manual re-entry and dispatch delays.
Monitor every vehicle in your distribution network with sub-meter location accuracy, configurable alerts for route deviations, and live ETA recalculations that keep operations centers informed as conditions change.
Pre-segment large stop volumes into proximity-based, constraint-aware clusters before routing—reducing solver complexity, balancing driver workloads, and enabling rapid zone re-assignment during demand spikes.
Deliver vehicle-specific, turn-by-turn navigation to drivers that respects truck dimensions, weight restrictions, HGV-prohibited streets, and custom road attributes configured for your operational environment.
Connect your TMS, ERP, or order management system via REST API or CSV import. Define vehicle capacities, driver shift windows, depot start/end locations, delivery time windows, and regulatory constraints—including truck dimensions and hazmat classifications relevant to your distribution corridors.

Co-Founder
Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in building logistics and mobility technology products from the ground up. His career spans leadership roles at Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley—where he built and scaled successful products across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics at a global level. As a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, Gaurav channels that operational and product experience into building routing and mapping infrastructure that solves real, margin-critical problems for logistics operators worldwide. His conviction that location technology should be accessible, flexible, and genuinely tailored to business needs—not a generic, expensive commodity—shapes every product decision at NextBillion.ai. Since the company's founding in 2020, he has been central to delivering over $11 million in cost savings and optimizing more than 10.9 million deliveries for customers globally.
Co-Founder
Ajay Bulusu is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, the AI-powered mapping and route optimization platform he launched in 2020 alongside Gaurav Bubna and Shaolin Zheng. Ajay's journey to founding NextBillion.ai began in 2017 at Grab, where he and his co-founders collaborated within the Geo team and experienced firsthand how critical—and how underserved—location technology was for large-scale logistics operations. Recognizing that existing solutions were expensive, rigid, and built for generic use cases, Ajay helped found NextBillion.ai with a mission to make enterprise-grade routing intelligence accessible and customizable for businesses of every size. His work has contributed to navigating over 557 million miles and serving 150+ businesses globally, establishing NextBillion.ai as a recognized alternative to traditional mapping API providers.
Co-Founder
Shaolin Zheng is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, the enterprise routing and mapping API platform built to solve the operational complexity that generic mapping providers cannot address. Shaolin's foundation in location technology was built at Grab's Geo team, where he collaborated alongside Ajay Bulusu and Gaurav Bubna from 2017 onward—developing deep expertise in the geospatial infrastructure that powers large-scale mobility and logistics operations. That experience informed the vision for NextBillion.ai: a platform that combines AI-driven routing intelligence with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness that distribution and supply chain operators actually need. Since launch in 2020, NextBillion.ai has raised $34.25 million in venture capital and joined forces with Velocitor Solutions in 2025, extending the platform's reach into enterprise telematics and fleet management.
The Route Optimization API supports 50+ hard and soft constraints including vehicle load capacity, multi-compartment loads, delivery time windows, driver shift hours, depot start/end locations, maximum route duration and distance, priority stop ordering, truck dimension compliance (height, weight, axle load), hazardous material routing rules, and custom road attributes configured through the Road Editor App.
