What changes with the ACES 5.0 / PIES 8.0 migration?

The standards update changes how fitment and product data are structured. On a composable platform you absorb it module by module instead of re-platforming, so a standards migration stops being a full rebuild each cycle. What the migration changes for parts sellers.

Does Virto Commerce integrate with our ERP, DMS and PIM?

Yes. The platform is API-first, so pricing, stock, product data and orders stay in sync with your existing systems in real time. Your ERP, DMS and PIM remain the systems of record.

Do we have to migrate everything at once?

No. The platform is modular, so you migrate module by module and market by market, and add channels, brands and regions on the same core. Daily high-frequency ordering keeps running throughout. Signs it is time to replatform an auto-parts store.

Does it support both distributors and manufacturers?

Yes. Distributors consume and validate ACES/PIES fitment data and run account-based ordering; manufacturers publish clean PIES data and digitize the route to distributors and installers — both on one core.

What technology is Virto Commerce built on?

A source-available modern .NET stack with GraphQL and REST APIs. It is API-first, composable and MACH-aligned, so developers can extend it and run it headless.
