Case Study: Argos achieves secure, scalable mobile APIs with TIBCO Software's Mashery

Argos Delivers Its Mobile Strategy with Mashery

Argos, one of the UK’s leading digital retailers with over 1 billion annual website visits and a top-ranking iPhone app, faced a new challenge as its APIs—originally built for mobile—were adopted across multiple channels and business units. This growth exposed gaps in scale, data security, and brand governance, creating the need for a robust way to manage commerce APIs safely across many apps, partners, and platforms.

Argos chose TIBCO Mashery to secure, partition, monitor, and report on API usage, protecting against denial-of-service and replay attacks and enabling alerts for transaction issues via the Mashery Control Center. The integration improved API performance and responsiveness, enabled more personalized customer experiences, and supported rapid app growth—four apps with millions of downloads—making the API strategy a core part of Argos’ digital transformation.
