IntelliTrack WMS Architecture
IntelliTrack WMS is built on the three-tier architecture recommended by
Microsoft for client/server environments. Three separate areas integrate to
form your IntelliTrack WMS product: the workstation application, the
server, and the database; thus forming a scalable client/server that can han-
dle a large number of users against a large database. IntelliTrack WMS
minimizes network traffic by shifting transactions to the back end through
a middle tier that provides accessibility to upgrades.

second tier (middle layer). All transactions (picking, receiving, moves,
