California Environmental Health and CUPA
Pre-built California CUPA accelerators. One county at a time.
By January 2027, every California CUPA is asked to operate on a system aligned with CERS NextGen. The platform CalEPA chose is Salesforce. We build a bespoke accelerator for your county on that platform, configuration first, using Salesforce Public Sector Solutions best practices. This is County Environmental Health Department and CUPA specific. We are not an ISV. We are a consulting firm, purpose built for this moment. Our one to one accelerators are free. Our consulting services are paid.

The compelling events
Five forces converging on California Environmental Health
California's 81 CUPAs and 58 county Environmental Health agencies are inside the most compressed modernization window in two decades. Five forces are landing inside the same eighteen months. Each one is a credible reason to evaluate. Together, they make the legacy stack unsustainable.
01
CERS NextGen go-live, January 2027
CalEPA’s statewide replatform is on Salesforce.
Phase 1 end-to-end testing is complete. Phase 2 covering APSA, CalARP, HMBP, and Hazardous Waste Generator begins this year. Existing systems will require changes to continue exchanging data with CERS.

02
EnvisionConnect end of life
Accela ended support for EnvisionConnect on December 31, 2025.
Every Environmental Health jurisdiction in California has begun transition. The question is no longer whether to migrate. The question is what to migrate to.

03
Post-incident accountability
The May 2026 Garden Grove tank crisis triggered a statewide review of CUPA inspection cadence and HMBP data accuracy.
Every county executive is asking the same question of their CUPA Coordinator. Legislative scrutiny lands inside sixty days.

AB 993 rural CUPA funding, January 1, 2027
The Hadwick bill expands rural CUPA reimbursement eligibility to counties under 150,000 population.
It raises the maximum allocation from $60K to $100K. New modernization money lands on the same date as CERS NextGen go-live.

Statewide modernization and AI mandate
The state has chosen its direction. Counties that lag are exposed.
The Governor’s July 2025 Executive Order on government effectiveness and the December 2025 California Innovation Council both push counties toward modern, AI-ready platforms.

The ReDEFY model
Your accelerator is already built
ReDEFY builds CUPA and California Environmental Health accelerators one county at a time, before the first meeting. We leverage what we can find publicly, and what we have learned from bringing the first county Environmental Health department and CUPA agency onto Salesforce Public Sector Solutions.
For more than five counties we have already built the accelerator. For the rest we need some level of light engagement with the county itself. Give us the time and we walk into your briefing room with a production ready working prototype that is the foundational start to your modernization project, before you consider a contract.
A ReDEFY accelerator is not a generic demo. It is a county-specific build with state regulations in mind, designed for your exact program mix and your exact data extract. It is configured on Salesforce Public Sector Solutions, not AI generated code that forks you from the SaaS innovation journey. It is aligned with CERS NextGen, and ready to extend into Agentforce. Our accelerators are included at no charge for organizations that contract with ReDEFY for our professional services on the full project.

AB 993 expanded reimbursement eligibility for counties under 150,000 population. We are building a parallel rural CUPA accelerator track. Contact us if you are a rural CUPA coordinator. We have some ideas on how to design this system for your needs, but we need your engagement.
Why Salesforce
Aligned with the state's chosen platform
CalEPA selected Salesforce for CERS NextGen and received a $4.5 million Technology Modernization Fund award for Phase 1. The state platform of record for unified program data exchange is Salesforce. A county modernization that aligns to the state platform eliminates the integration tax and the CME and EDT remediation work that legacy stacks now require to keep exchanging data with CERS.
Salesforce Public Sector Solutions is configurable by your CUPA staff, not by your vendor's release cycle. When AB 1716 changed business plan site map requirements, a configurable platform absorbs the change in days. A legacy permitting suite waits for a vendor release.
Configurable by your CUPA, not by your vendor
New regulation arrives, you configure. AB 1716 site map fields, new gas threshold definitions, expanded CalARP coverage from SB 740. Days, not release cycles.
Mobile-first inspection workflows
Your inspectors work from a phone in the field. Offline capture. Photo evidence attached to the inspection record. Auto-scheduling and route optimization for a thinned-out team.
Public transparency portal
Aligned with the 2025 CalCUPA Forum theme of community transparency and refinery oversight. Public-facing, configurable disclosure controls, ready for refinery-heavy and industrial-heavy counties.
Agentforce-ready, AI inspection assist
First-draft inspection reports generated by Agentforce from inspector field notes and prior inspections. Trained on your facility classifications. Reviewed and approved by your inspectors.

What you get in our free accelerator
A ReDEFY accelerator is a working Salesforce environment configured for your specific county. It is not a slide deck. It is not a generic sandbox. By the briefing meeting, your county team can log in and review the following.
- 01
Pre-modeled inspection cadence and HMBP renewal workflow
Configured against your CUPA program inventory and your published inspection frequency targets.
- 02
County-specific data model mapped to your current system extract
We model the migration before the meeting, so day one of the engagement starts in implementation rather than discovery.
- 03
Mobile field inspection app
Configured for your inspector personas, ready to test with your team in the briefing.
- 04
Agentforce-powered inspection report draft
Generates first-draft inspection narratives from field notes and prior inspections, trained on your facility classifications.
- 05
Public transparency portal wireframe
Configured for your community engagement model, with disclosure controls aligned to CalCUPA Forum best practices.
- 06
CERS NextGen exchange adapter specification
Mapped against the CalEPA Phase 1 testing protocol so your migration is aligned to the state’s go-live timeline.

Track record
Built by the founders of the Salesforce CUPA practice
ReDEFY's co-founders Manosh Chakravorty and Karthik Akula built Incapsulate into the number one ranked Salesforce partner in Public Sector, acquired by Accenture in 2023, and went on to lead the Salesforce Business Group at Accenture from 2023 to 2026. That team's CERS-certified CUPA platform on Salesforce Public Sector Solutions is live at a large California county, replacing Accela. ReDEFY brings the same playbook in a smaller, faster delivery model.
The delivery model is the Agentic Implementation Engine. AIE is how a three-person ReDEFY team delivers what a traditional system integrator deploys with thirty. On a recent state government engagement, the AIE delivered 25 percent of project scope in three weeks.
