In this episode, we explore two powerful pre-run validation tools in Cosmic Frog: the Model Assistant and the Integrity Checker. Instead of running your entire model, waiting for results, and then diagnosing issues, you can catch data errors in just minutes before hitting "run." The Model Assistant flags missing essential information—like un-geocoded locations or absent production policies—while the Integrity Checker goes deeper, identifying numeric issues, unit of measure mismatches, master data references that don't exist, and data type conflicts.
Significant updates in Cosmic Frog allow for more accurate multi-stop route design with realistic business constraints like time windows and hours of service.
