# How Do I Connect Warehouse Pickup to the Actual Shipment Record?

You connect warehouse pickup to the shipment record by linking the moment goods leave the warehouse directly to the shipment's status, so tracking starts without a manual handoff step. On **Jestor**, this runs through warehouse pickup events connected to shipment status.

A shipment that starts tracking only once it's physically picked up by a carrier, disconnected from the warehouse handoff itself, loses visibility into the earliest part of its journey.

## What a disconnected pickup handoff costs

- No visibility into the earliest part of a shipment's actual journey
- A gap between warehouse readiness and carrier pickup that isn't tracked
- Manual coordination needed between the warehouse team and dispatch
- Difficulty confirming exactly when goods actually left the warehouse

## How connecting pickup to the shipment record works

- A warehouse pickup event connects directly to the shipment's **status**
- Tracking begins the moment goods are confirmed ready and picked up
- The warehouse team and dispatch reference the same connected record
- No manual handoff step exists between warehouse readiness and carrier pickup

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The connection closes the visibility gap at the earliest part of the journey
- Warehouse and dispatch teams work from the same connected source of truth
- This removes the manual coordination step between two separate functions
- This scales from a single warehouse to a multi-location fulfillment operation

| Disconnected pickup handoff          | Pickup connected to shipment status |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| Visibility gap at the earliest stage | Tracking begins at confirmed pickup |
