Effectively cashless economies such as Sweden were badly hit by the software crash, with major regional retailers such as the Åhlens department store chain unable to process electronic payments. Similar to many other operators, Sweden’s SAS reported issues with its booking system and that “though fully operational, we expect delays”.
Copenhagen’s fire service, Hovedstadens Beredskab, warned of problems receiving alarms sent automatically by building smoke detectors and urged people to report fires by phone. Several media organisations across the Continent reported IT issues, including Danish publisher Berlingske Media. Mercedes reported problems in its factories near Stuttgart, with full production capacity not possible on Friday. The Mercedes Formula One team confirmed it had experienced IT problems, but had mastered them by the afternoon. In Bavaria, BMW said IT problems and a production slowdown had been addressed by Friday afternoon.
