Build on Bambi’s REST API and webhooks, with the live trips, drivers and vehicles that run NEMT dispatch every day
GREAT NECK, MO, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Bambi, the NEMT scheduling and dispatch software used by more than 800 owners and operators, today launched the Bambi Developer Platform. It gives non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) providers and their partners a REST API and real-time webhooks for trips, drivers and vehicles, so the tools around dispatch finally share one live record of every ride.
A typical NEMT provider runs its day across broker portals, an intake line, a CRM, business tools such as payroll and accounting, and telematics. The gaps between them get filled by retyping: the same trip keyed into two or three screens, and every retype is another chance for a wrong pickup time or a rejected claim.
“Transportation still runs on a dozen tools that don’t talk to each other, and users can see and feel the gaps in data and missed details,” said Nirav Chheda, CEO and co-founder of Bambi. “We built the Bambi Developer Platform so those tools finally work together, and we priced it so a fleet never gets punished for growing: past 25 vehicles, the API costs nothing more.”
The Developer Platform closes that gap. Trips come into Bambi two ways. Booking and intake is the provider’s own front door: its web forms, call lines and intake tools. Partner systems belong to the outside organizations that send the provider work, such as transportation brokers, health plans and healthcare facilities. Both now send trips in through the REST API. When a trip changes, Bambi sends a webhook, and the provider’s CRM, business tools, telematics and custom applications update on their own.
Because every trip on Bambi moves through the platform, from the request and driver assignment to live status, completion with GPS and odometer, cancellations and pricing, the Developer Platform also becomes a connection point for the rest of healthcare transportation. Hospitals, health systems and EHR vendors can request rides from inside the patient record or the discharge workflow and see pickup and drop-off status without a phone call. Brokers, health plans and PACE programs can send trips to many Bambi providers at once and track each one to completion. Dialysis centers, nursing homes and day programs can book recurring and will-call rides from their own systems. Multi-fleet operators can bring several Bambi organizations into one reporting or dispatch view.
Vendors that serve many fleets can build one integration and offer it to every provider on Bambi. Payroll can pay drivers from their completed trips. Maintenance can schedule service from real odometer readings. Training and credentialing can work from the live driver roster, and staffing can plan around actual trip volume.
Those are the first use cases, not the full list. Bambi plans to work directly with outside developers on what gets built next.
“We look forward to working with developers who come to us with ideas for applications they want to build on top of Bambi,” said Charles Henick, CTO and co-founder of Bambi. “We’re excited to help them build new and novel solutions for every kind of use case, whether it serves owner-operators, patients or care facilities.”
Access is granted, not open. Each provider decides which partners can see its organization, and webhook payloads carry only IDs, statuses and timestamps, never patient health information. Every delivery is signed, so the receiving system can verify it came from Bambi.
The platform launches with a REST API to create and update trips and read drivers and vehicles, webhooks for 21 trip events from trip.created and trip.assigned through trip.completed and trip.price_updated, with more on the way, and public documentation at docs.hibambi.com.
Pricing follows the same idea Chheda describes: transparent and simple, so a fleet can scale and grow without the bill growing with it. The Developer Platform costs $30 per active vehicle a month and never more than $750, on top of the provider’s Bambi plan of $69 per active vehicle per month. A 150-vehicle fleet pays the same $750 as a 25-vehicle fleet. There are no per-call fees, no per-event fees and no setup fee.
The Bambi Developer Platform is available now. Bambi owners and admins can request access from the Developer Platform option in the top-right menu of Bambi. Providers not yet on Bambi, and partners, can request access at hibambi.com/developer-platform.
