NextBillion.ai's Geofencing API is a robust solution designed to empower businesses with dynamic and contextual location experiences. It provides enhanced visibility, streamlines scheduling, and optimizes the dispatch of assets and fleets, leading to more efficient resource management and reduced wait times across various operations and deliveries. The API allows for the implementation of accurate and easy-to-manage virtual boundaries (geofences), facilitating effective resource and asset utilization. Users can allocate defined areas to specific delivery agents or stores, assign fleets and drivers in real-time using isochrones or isodistances for proximity calculations, and match personnel to tasks or orders. It supports dynamic geofencing, enabling real-time routing restrictions and the marking of custom zones. Users can draw or import geofences, specify restricted areas to guide drivers around them, and edit routes with zero latency. Furthermore, it allows for the creation of custom routes that comply with specific requirements, such as time- or vehicle-based restrictions. Beyond operational efficiency, the Geofencing API helps drive customer engagement and boost retention by monitoring the movement of assets or people, enabling proximity-based notifications and alerts. This capability is crucial for optimizing curbside pickups, reducing customer wait times, building loyalty, and minimizing churn.

Features & Benefits

• Effective Resource and Asset Utilization
  • Facilitates efficient allocation and matching of resources based on location and proximity.
  • Allocate defined areas to specified delivery agents or stores.
  • Assign fleets and drivers in real time with the help of isochrones or isodistances to calculate proximity based on time or distance.
  • Pair passengers to nearby drivers, match the closest drivers to upcoming tasks, identify the appropriate stores to service each order.
• Dynamic Geofencing and Custom Zone Management
  • Allows drawing or importing virtual boundaries, specifying restricted zones, and editing routes in real time to reflect routing restrictions and compliance requirements.
  • Draw or import geofences to mark virtual boundaries.
  • Specify restricted zones so that drivers are routed around instead of through them.
  • Edit routes in real time with zero latency.
  • Mark custom routes to reflect compliance requirements such as time- and vehicle-based restrictions.
• Enhanced Customer Engagement and Retention
  • Utilizes geofences to monitor movement and enable proximity-based notifications and alerts, optimizing customer interactions and service delivery.
