Built a internal tool with Tempo?
We'll make it production-ready.
Internal tools don't face the public internet, but they often have access to sensitive business data — customer records, financial data, operational metrics. AI tools build internal dashboards quickly, but the security bar is still high because a compromised internal tool can expose your entire business.
Internal Tool challenges in Tempo apps
Building a internal tool with Tempo is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
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.
What we check in your Tempo internal tool
Common Tempo issues we fix
Beyond internal tool-specific issues, these are Tempo patterns we commonly fix.
Generated UI components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data
Tempo generates visually accurate components but all data is hardcoded or uses placeholder values. Every component needs data fetching, API integration, and state management added before it is functional in a real application.
No authentication or authorization built into generated page components
Pages and layouts generated from Figma designs do not include route protection, session checks, or role-based rendering — all authentication logic must be added separately before the pages handle real users.
Components tightly coupled to Figma design tokens that do not match your design system
Tempo generates components using Tailwind classes and CSS values extracted from Figma, which may not align with your existing design system tokens, theme configuration, or component library — requiring a normalization pass to integrate cleanly.
No state management architecture — components are purely presentational without interaction logic
Interactive UI elements (dropdowns, modals, tabs, forms) are generated with the correct visual appearance but without state management wiring, requiring developers to add useState, useReducer, or a state library to make them functional.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a internal tool with Tempo?
Tempo is a great starting point for a internal tool. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but internal tools have specific requirements — access control and data sensitivity — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Tempo leave in internal tools?
Common issues include: generated ui components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data, no authentication or authorization built into generated page components, components tightly coupled to figma design tokens that do not match your design system. For a internal tool specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for access control.
How do I make my Tempo internal tool production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Tempo-built internal tools, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Tempo-built internal tool?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger internal tool projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
