Route Optimization API
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints in seconds. Supports large-fleet re-optimization, seasonal demand spikes, and predictable fixed-monthly pricing with no per-call cost surprises.
Building a Transportation Management System that actually performs at scale means your APIs need to handle real-world complexity — truck-compliant routing, live tracking, large matrix computations, and dynamic dispatch without per-call cost penalties. NextBillion.ai gives developers a comprehensive, low-latency API suite purpose-built for TMS integration, with predictable pricing and sub-second response times.
A complete API suite for developers building scalable, intelligent transportation management systems without infrastructure overhead.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints in seconds. Supports large-fleet re-optimization, seasonal demand spikes, and predictable fixed-monthly pricing with no per-call cost surprises.
Compute up to 25 million origin-destination pairs in a single call. Supports truck-specific dimensions, real-time traffic ETAs, and custom road attributes — eliminating the 25×25 matrix ceiling of legacy providers.
Track every vehicle and field agent with up to 1-meter accuracy in real time. Supports offline buffering, configurable event alerts, mileage reporting, and native integration with Samsara, Geotab, and custom driver apps.
Automate the planning-to-execution handoff by pushing optimized routes directly to driver apps and fleet management platforms. Supports real-time dynamic reassignment and task re-routing without manual dispatcher intervention.
Define, manage, and trigger automated workflows from virtual boundaries. Powers proof-of-delivery confirmation, zone-based dispatch, restricted area enforcement, and customer arrival notifications across your TMS.
Deliver vehicle-specific, constraint-aware turn-by-turn navigation for HGVs, delivery vans, and motorcycles. Integrates custom road attributes, real-time traffic, and departure-time routing in a low-latency REST API and mobile SDKs.
Most mapping APIs were designed for consumer navigation — not the operational complexity of a commercial TMS. NextBillion.ai's developer-first API platform is engineered for logistics: sub-second response times, no artificial matrix size caps, truck-compliant routing, on-premise deployment for data-residency mandates, and per-vehicle pricing that doesn't punish re-optimization cycles. Whether you're building an in-house TMS or embedding routing intelligence into a logistics SaaS, the entire stack integrates and goes live within a week.

Founders who built geo-intelligence at Grab, Ola, and beyond.
Co-Founder
Ajay Bulusu is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in geospatial technology and large-scale logistics infrastructure from his time at Grab's Geo team. At Grab, Ajay gained firsthand insight into the limitations of conventional mapping and routing APIs when applied to the complexity of real-world logistics operations. That experience became the founding conviction behind NextBillion.ai: that the logistics and transportation industry deserved a purpose-built, developer-first API platform — one that could handle true production scale, support commercial vehicle constraints, and deliver predictable economics. Since launching NextBillion.ai in 2020, Ajay has led the company's growth to serve 150+ businesses globally while delivering over $11 million in measurable cost savings to customers.
Co-Founder
Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing a rare combination of deep technical expertise and product leadership honed across some of the world's most demanding logistics and mobility platforms. Prior to co-founding NextBillion.ai, Gaurav built successful products from scratch across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics at Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley — giving him direct exposure to the routing, tracking, and optimization challenges that logistics developers face at scale. That product instinct shapes every API NextBillion.ai ships: engineered not just to function, but to solve the precise operational problems that TMS developers, fleet management teams, and logistics SaaS builders encounter in production environments every day.
Co-Founder
Shaolin Zheng is a Co-Founder of NextBillion.ai and a core architect of the platform's technical foundation. Like his co-founders, Shaolin's background includes critical work on the Geo team at Grab, where the scale and complexity of Southeast Asia's logistics and mobility market demanded location technology that went far beyond what any off-the-shelf mapping provider could offer. That experience — building and scaling geospatial infrastructure under real production load — directly informs NextBillion.ai's technical architecture: low-latency API design, massive distance matrix computation, truck-compliant routing, and the flexible deployment model that lets enterprise TMS developers integrate on-premise or in any cloud environment without compromise.
An API (Application Programming Interface) in a TMS (Transportation Management System) is a programmatic connection that enables the TMS to exchange data with external services — such as routing engines, mapping providers, tracking systems, and ERP platforms. TMS APIs allow developers to automate route planning, dispatch, live tracking, and ETA calculations without manual data entry, creating a connected, real-time operational system.
