Bassas is a smart workplace platform that synchronizes multiple business apps. While surfing the platform, I found some major and minor issues. Critical errors like missing pages affect the user experience and should be fixed asap. Other bugs like flawed verification and cropped tooltips are not critical but still need some QA attention.
