Frequently asked questions
Features
NextBillion.ai route planning APIs are designed for margin-sensitive logistics which need advanced constraints to solve complex and large-scale routing problems without breaking the bank.
We use Open Street Maps and TomTom which allows us to tailor and control the quality of routes much better. That said, these maps are not hardcoded into our route solver. We swap in new map data depending on what works best for a given territory or routing problem.
Yes, on accuracy, NextBillion.ai route planning API is comparable to Google’s solution. We recommend you book a demo call and get a trial API key to compare the results.
NextBillion.ai route planning APIs support all countries and regions across the globe. We even swap in new map data depending on what works best for a given territory or routing problem.
Yes, like every other mapping solution, NextBillion.ai takes into account real-time traffic and historical traffic patterns to calculate distance matrices and suggest the most efficient routes. Moreover, we refresh our maps every two to three months.
Yes, NextBillion.ai route planning APIs let you specify “truck” as your mode of transport and define “vehicle dimensions” to identify routes and calculate transit time and mileage in compliance with trucking regulations.
NextBillion.ai route planning APIs support up to 10,000 stops for route optimization. And upto 5000x5000 matrix size for calculating distances and ETAs between origins and destinations.
We do have AI/ML capabilities in our roadmap. We can even create a unique instance for you if you want to teach the algorithm on your own data.
Pricing
Besides the number of total API calls you make, we offer you the alternative of paying for the volume of orders you generate or the number of vehicles/agents you work with. Learn more about our pricing. Or simply talk to our sales team.
Yes, with NextBillion.ai, you can enable alerts when you reach 50%, 75%, and 90% of your allocated API usage.
No, we do not charge anything for support or professional services.
No, we are always eager to add capabilities based on market needs, and rather quickly. Some new features we are adding currently are - distance matrix caching for faster re-optimizations, zone-wise route sequencing, and zone-wise task grouping.
NextBillion.ai enters into annual contracts, with complete flexibility for modifying allocated API usage. We recommend you book a live demo to learn more.
Speed, scalability, and security
You can expect a response for many thousands of elements in about 5 seconds. (the number of origins times the number of destinations equals the number of elements).
We offer an on-contract guarantee of 99.9% uptime.
We are SOC2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified.
NextBillion.ai route planning is a cloud-based solution, regionally deployed and hosted in North America, Oregon(United States), Belgium, and Singapore.
Testing and deployment support
Yes, we offer a trial API key for a week or two so you can test it with your data and applications. This helps you check the accuracy of transit time and distance estimates and the efficiency of the routes. Plus, you can compare the results with your current route planning solution. It also helps you evaluate the speed and the scalability of our solution.
You can find comprehensive documentation on our website.
Yes, we recommend you book a live demo call for that.
With the help of our support team, It takes you only a week to formulate and tune the route planning objective function for your unique use case and business goals, and to integrate the API with your applications.
Yes, we have a support team and location intelligence consultants to help you integrate and implement the route planning APIs effectively.
Yes, NextBillion.ai offers on-premise deployment and works hands-on with your engineering and operations teams to implement and integrate it with your existing systems and workflows.
