This video answers that by introducing the foundational components that make every Cosmic Frog model work — the locations, products, connections, and rules that form the backbone of your digital supply chain.
This episode shows you how to get comfortable working with data inside the Cosmic Frog interface. You’ll learn how to clean up your tables, filter columns by engine type, hide what you don’t need, and pin what you do — turning overwhelming spreadsheets into focused, usable views.
This chapter walks through a practical, real-world loop: export a demand table to Excel/CSV, make changes, then import it back. You’ll see the two import paths in action—Replace (wipe and reload) and Upsert (update existing rows, insert new ones)—and how Cosmic Frog keeps you honest with Model Activity cards, record counts, and clear success checks. By the end, you’ll know exactly when to use each method, how to avoid accidental data loss, and how primary keys decide what gets updated vs. created.
This episode dives into geocoding and distance calculations, the backbone of accurate supply chain modeling. You’ll see how to turn raw addresses into latitude/longitude points, verify them visually, and switch between providers like Mapbox, Bing, or Azure with a single key. From there, the video shows how Cosmic Frog calculates road distances and transit times, either from your own data or through automated lookups powered by external APIs. The best part? You’ll discover how flexible the platform is.

An increasing number of U.S. companies are evaluating how to move all or part of their supply chain out of China to increase resiliency. Here’s how to model your China supply chain exit strategy to reduce risk and improve service.
In a global M&A market that even experts describe as unpredictable, this is certain: Deal velocity will ramp up again, and when it does, preparedness is the difference between champagne toasts and failure. For companies with a physical supply chain, network design is the secret weapon dealmakers use to rapidly evaluate the cost, service and risk trade-offs of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures — before investing a dime.
Donald Hicks, Founder and CEO of Optilogic, joins to discuss the state of the supply chain industry and how now is the time to shift out of a ‘reactive’ mode and into a ‘proactive’ and forward-thinking system of operations.
