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

Figuring out which Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) solver to use can be difficult. You may be thinking, do I really need to scale or can I get by with open-source solvers?
Science = art. Both are well crafted, full of meaning, and clean in design. And modeling is the perfect combination of art and science. It is both wildly creative and filled with patterns in nature. But what exactly is modeling?
We’re thrilled to announce that we have upgraded our platform and have partnered with Gurobi, the world’s fastest mathematical optimization solver on the market. By joining forces with Gurobi, the Optilogic platform now offers a complete end-to-end solution for high-fidelity modeling, optimization, and deployment.
Optilogic is pleased to introduce Gurobi to it’s library of accessible solvers. As of today, Optilogic users will now be able to optimize their models using Gurobi’s best in class solver.
Since the launch of Optilogic, we’re beyond excited to see the influx of new users and what they’ve been able to accomplish in our cloud-based platform. As optimizations continue to get more advanced, we’ve decided to assemble a core team to provide the support users will need to make the most awesome applications. Introducing Mark Outslay, Head of Professional Services at Optilogic. Mark has a 20 year career in supply chain technology and consulting. He works out of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Modelers and engineers from around the world have formulated and coded their optimization and simulation models to solve some of the world’s most complicated problems. Whether you’re modeling the full supply chain of the world’s biggest grocery stores or the performance of a pro athlete, our world is getting better at presenting answers. However, modeling is a lot more nuanced than just knowing what you need to answer. How do we know if we’re asking the right questions? Are we optimizing for the right problem? How confident are we in the results of our optimizations?
