In today’s competitive retail environment, brands face the dual challenge of securing products while delivering a seamless, premium in-store experience. Garmin, a global leader in GPS technology and smart wearables, encountered this challenge when seeking a retail display solution for its high-value products.
The Challenge
Garmin needed a solution that would not only protect items such as smartwatches and GPS devices, but also align with its sleek, modern brand image. Traditional retail security systems were often bulky, visually intrusive, or failed to complement the premium atmosphere Garmin wanted to maintain.

The Results
The collaboration quickly delivered measurable impact. Garmin retail stores worldwide adopted the DFS solution, leading to:
- A significant reduction in theft incidents

Conclusion
