This interactive training session will enable users to successfully navigate the Cosmic Frog solution, build and run a basic model with scenarios, and visualize a model and its results in the platform. Sample model input data will be shared, giving attendees the option to follow along with the model, scenario, maps, and analytics dashboard build portions of the training. Attendees who wish to follow along will have an opportunity to create a free Optilogic account during the training if they have not done so beforehand.
From high-level strategy tools that reveal where to open your next DC, to detailed simulations that mirror real-world operations, this episode offers a first look at the technology reshaping supply chain design - and the why behind it all. You’ll see how different engines balance scope and detail, and why choosing the right one can mean the difference between runaway costs and breakthrough efficiency.
This episode is your first guided tour of the apps that form the backbone of every modeling project. You’ll discover where to find free demo models to kickstart your work, how to track and learn from your own runs, and even how to collaborate with your team inside the brand-new Teams Hub.
In this episode, Mert from Optilogic walks you through the essentials of creating, managing, and sharing models inside Cosmic Frog. You’ll learn how to spin up a new model from scratch, use resource library templates to get a head start, and organize your growing collection with filters and search

BASF’s Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence & Performance Organization will leverage Optilogic Cosmic Frog to test robustness of future supply chain designs and empower business users.
Supply chain simulation is the most granular modeling technique. This preferred method for service level analysis shows how business rules, policies, product requirements, etc. impact demand, manufacturing cycle times, staffing requirements, transportation lead times, and more. These insights can be instrumental for a multi-tiered supply chain’s inventory strategy.
Mid-market company supply chains grapple with many of the same challenges large companies face. Here’s why supply chain design is crucial to the future success of mid-market companies and how they can take advantage of the same technology and benefits as their Fortune 100 counterparts.

A comprehensive Supply Chain Design process that combines optimization, simulation and risk assessment will help you understand the weak-links in your supply chain, and to quickly analyze alternatives when there are profound cost fluctuations or disruptions.
An effective supply chain structure (or architecture) enhances a network's inherent ability to resist the negative impacts of supply chain disruptions. Because supply chains are generally large and complex, they have posed a challenge to effective planning and decision making, especially when unexpected disruptions occur. This challenge ushered in an era that leaned heavily on computers and complex software to provide decision support capabilities.
Ready to build your first Cosmic Frog model? We’ve got your back. We’ll guide you through four simple steps and you’ll be on your way to answering your toughest supply chain what-if questions.
Before we can prepare for what’s next, we first need to understand the past. The importance of supply chains pre-dates us by as much as two and a half millennia! Ancient philosophers and tacticians (like Homer and Sun Tzu) wrote about “supplies” and “logistics” and how those impact military campaigns, political aspirations, and other outcomes.
Post-COVID uncertainty demands a new level of supply chain design technology. Cosmic Frog is the only supply chain design solution that offers optimization, simulation, and risk analysis across an end-to-end supply chain in a single platform, equipping businesses to make more informed decisions beyond just cost.
We’ve assembled a group of experts from the supply chain industry to build out the Professional Services team at Optilogic. Whether you’re a customer, a partner, or a prospective customer, our Professional Services team has the expertise to help you incorporate design thinking and leverage cloud-based solutions for even your most ambitious modeling, optimization, and simulation projects.
