Long-haul trucking demands more than generic routing. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API delivers HGV-compliant, constraint-aware route planning engineered for freight carriers managing complex multi-stop loads, regulatory restrictions, and weight-sensitive corridors. Reduce fuel costs, eliminate on-road surprises, and keep every rig on the most efficient, legally compliant path — from depot to final destination.
End-to-end API capabilities purpose-built for trucking fleets, freight carriers, and long-haul logistics platforms.
Generate HGV-compliant, multi-stop optimized routes in seconds with 50+ hard and soft constraints — including vehicle dimensions, load capacity, time windows, HOS limits, and hazmat routing rules — at predictable, fixed monthly pricing.
Deliver precise, truck-aware turn-by-turn navigation that respects bridge clearances, weight restrictions, and vehicle dimensions — keeping commercial drivers on legally compliant, operationally safe routes from departure to delivery.
Calculate real-time and historical travel times and distances between up to 5,000×5,000 origin-destination pairs in a single call — with truck-specific routing, vehicle dimension constraints, and departure-time-based ETA accuracy.
Monitor every truck in your fleet with sub-meter real-time location accuracy, configurable alerts for speeding and route deviation, and offline tracking continuity in low-connectivity rural and industrial zones.
Rebuild complete, road-snapped trip histories from raw GPS breadcrumbs — producing audit-ready HOS compliance documentation, mileage verification records, and planned-vs-actual deviation analysis for every haul.
Inject custom road attributes — weight-restricted bridges, theft-prone corridors, safe overnight parking zones, municipal truck restrictions — directly into every route calculation without engineering changes or API modifications.
Generic routing APIs route every vehicle the same way — a dangerous assumption when a 40-tonne rig hits a weight-restricted bridge or a low-clearance underpass. NextBillion.ai's Route Optimization API is engineered specifically for commercial freight: HGV-compliant routing with vehicle dimension constraints, hazmat rules, and bridge restriction awareness baked into every calculation. Paired with predictable per-vehicle pricing, long-haul carriers finally get enterprise-grade routing intelligence without the unpredictable API bill that scales against them every time demand spikes or re-optimization cycles increase.

Built by logistics veterans from Grab's Geo team, NextBillion.ai delivers routing infrastructure that handles the complexity commercial freight actually demands.
Every route respects vehicle height, weight, axle load, and hazmat rules — eliminating compliance-breaking routing errors that cost carriers in fines and delays.
Per-vehicle and per-order pricing models replace volatile per-API-call billing, keeping costs stable even during seasonal demand spikes and frequent re-optimization cycles.
Distance matrix calculations up to 5,000×5,000 and sub-second route optimization handle the full computational load of large national freight fleets without batching workarounds.
Dedicated solutions engineers provide hands-on support from trial onboarding through production deployment — going live in under a week with TMS, ERP, and telematics integrations.
Industry veterans who built location technology at global scale.
Co-Founder
Ajay Bulusu is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in geospatial technology and large-scale logistics systems built during his tenure at Grab's Geo team — one of Southeast Asia's largest ride-hailing and delivery platforms. His firsthand experience with the limitations of existing mapping and routing solutions for high-volume, margin-sensitive logistics operations became the founding conviction behind NextBillion.ai. Ajay leads the company's strategic direction, ensuring that every product decision stays grounded in the real operational challenges that freight carriers, logistics platforms, and transportation businesses face daily. Under his leadership, NextBillion.ai has grown from a founding-stage startup to a platform serving 150+ businesses globally, delivering over $11 million in customer cost savings and optimizing more than 10.9 million deliveries.

Shaolin Zheng is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai with deep roots in geospatial engineering and location technology infrastructure developed during her collaboration with Ajay and Gaurav at Grab's Geo team. Her technical leadership has been instrumental in architecting NextBillion.ai's high-performance, cloud-agnostic routing and mapping platform — one capable of processing distance matrices at 5,000×5,000 scale, delivering sub-second route optimization, and supporting on-premise deployment for enterprises with strict data residency requirements. Shaolin's engineering philosophy centers on building routing intelligence that reflects real-world operational constraints rather than sanitized assumptions — a principle that has made NextBillion.ai's platform particularly well-suited to the complex, regulation-intensive demands of trucking and long-haul logistics. In 2025, NextBillion.ai joined Velocitor Solutions, expanding the platform's reach into enterprise telematics.
The API accepts precise vehicle parameters — height, width, weight, axle load, and cargo type including hazardous materials — and generates routes that avoid low-clearance bridges, weight-restricted roads, and truck-prohibited streets. This vehicle-dimension awareness is built into the core routing engine, not applied as a post-calculation filter, ensuring every route is compliant before it reaches the driver.
