Alan Salman: The "ChatGPT Moment" Has Arrived for Logistics—and the Old 3PL Model Is Breaking

MIAMI - EntSun -- Alan Salman Warns Logistics Industry: The "ChatGPT Moment" Has Arrived for Third-Party Logistics

Miami, FL — Alan Salman, founder of International 3PL, is warning shippers and logistics providers that a fundamental shift is underway in third-party logistics—one that is rapidly redefining customer expectations and rendering traditional, reactive models obsolete.

According to Salman, the industry is experiencing its own "ChatGPT moment": a tipping point where customers no longer tolerate delayed information, manual exception handling, or opaque operations. Instead, they expect real-time insight, predictive intelligence, and proactive service—by default.

"This shift isn't just about software or automation," said Salman. "It's about a change in mindset. Customers don't want to be managed anymore—they want to be informed, empowered, and supported in real time. Logistics is no longer just the movement of goods; it's the delivery of certainty."

Salman explains that modern shippers expect the same immediacy and clarity they experience in digital services: instant answers, predictive outcomes, and transparent communication. For end consumers, this translates into live delivery visibility, proactive notifications, and flexible delivery options. For shippers, it means fewer surprises, better planning, and operational confidence.

Industry data supports this shift. Research shows that nearly 90% of customers now expect real-time shipment tracking, signaling that delayed or batch updates are no longer acceptable. At the same time, companies that implement real-time visibility and predictive logistics tools are more than twice as likely to outperform competitors that rely on traditional, reactive processes.

"These numbers confirm what we see every day," Salman added. "The old model—waiting for problems to happen and then reacting—is failing. Customers don't measure logistics providers by effort anymore; they measure them by clarity, speed, and foresight."

International 3PL has been positioning itself ahead of this curve by focusing on technology-enabled visibility, proactive exception management, and customer-centric fulfillment strategies that prioritize experience as much as execution.

Salman believes the companies that adapt will thrive, while those that cling to legacy workflows will increasingly struggle to meet expectations.

"This is an opportunity, not a threat," he said. "The winners in this next phase of logistics will be the ones who understand that trust today is built through transparency—and transparency must be real time."
