Sourcing Footprint Analysis

Weigh the advantages and drawbacks of global, regional, and local sourcing strategies by considering cost, lead times, and risk exposure. 

  • Compare nearshoring vs. offshoring, multiple supplier locations, or consolidating to a single regional hub. 
  • Use Optilogic’s decision platform to model how consolidating spend with fewer strategic suppliers might reduce per-unit costs but increase supply risk, versus diversifying to mitigate disruptions but potentially raising complexity.

Supplier Risk Mitigation

Every scenario in Optilogic’s platform includes a risk score, calculated based on weights of different risk components. 

  • Leverage automated risk data to understand regional risk.
  • Model the potential impact of supplier disruptions on cost, delivery, and service impact.
  • Create customized risk profiles to emphasize risk areas that matter to your business, including climate risk, network complexity, and geography.

Inventory Positioning and Policies

Ensure inventory decisions are driven by Optilogic’s Design Intelligence Platform—keeping levels aligned with business objectives while balancing cost, risk, and resilience.

  • SKU-level modeling eliminates aggregation, enabling precise policies that reduce stockouts, holding costs, and waste for both long term strategic planning and near-term tactical planning.
  • Harness AI and cloud hyperscaling to run numerous simulation scenarios to pinpoint your best-fit solution.
  • Optimize both raw material inventory and inventory policies.

Dynamic Supplier Pricing Scenarios

Test how negotiations around raw material pricing, minimum order quantities, delivery agreements, and percentage allocation for different suppliers’ policies impact the portfolio’s profitability with Optilogic’s Decision Intelligence Platform.

  • Provide negotiators with the ability to understand the impact of pricing and sourcing cost changes across multiple suppliers to identify optimal renegotiation or switching strategies. 
  • Optimize cash flow by understanding the impact of minimum order quantities on inventory strategy, including detailed stock activities costs.
“We’re using Cosmic Frog to pressure test our supply chain to ensure continuity of supplies to our customers all around the globe. It's been vital to keeping revenue streams up and satisfying demand.”
