Internal Tool challenges we solve
Common internal tool issues in apps built with Lovable or Bolt.new.
Access control
Who can see what? Internal tools need role-based access — finance sees revenue data, support sees customer data, engineering sees system metrics. AI tools build the dashboard but rarely implement granular permissions.
Data sensitivity
Internal tools often connect directly to production databases. A bug that deletes records or a missing auth check that exposes customer PII can have serious legal and business consequences.
Network security
Internal tools should be behind a VPN or protected network, not on the public internet. AI tools deploy to public URLs by default. Proper network configuration prevents external access.
Audit logging
When someone modifies data through an internal tool, you need to know who did what and when. This is essential for debugging, compliance, and accountability.
Data mutations
Internal tools often write to production databases — updating orders, modifying user accounts, issuing refunds. These operations need confirmation dialogs, validation, and audit trails to prevent costly mistakes.
