What Condor does

Condor, operated by Distillery Software, is an Australian-owned enterprise software company providing investigation and intelligence management solutions, founded in the early 2000s and headquartered in Canberra. The company serves federal, state, and local government agencies — including law enforcement, intelligence bodies, integrity and anti-corruption commissions, regulators, ombudsmen, and agencies with specialized powers — as well as select international public sector customers. Its primary verticals span law enforcement, intelligence, integrity and misconduct, regulatory, and complaints management, with named Australian customers including the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), Sports Integrity Australia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, and an Australian state police service.

Condor's product is a modular cloud-based platform built on Microsoft Azure (hosted in IRAP Protected-level certified Canberra data centres) and structured around Condor Core, which comprises three foundational modules: Condor Investigate (end-to-end case management with evidence, warrant, and brief-of-evidence workflows), Condor Assess (case triage, prioritization, and assessment), and Condor Intel (entity-centric intelligence and relationship mapping). Three add-on modules extend the suite: Condor Compliance (supporting telecommunications interception and surveillance legislative compliance), Condor Operations (field operation planning with iOS/Android mobile apps), and Condor Disposals & Destructions (records management compliant with Commonwealth and State Records Acts). The platform holds IRAP Protected Level certification, aligns with AGIS 2022, and integrates with Microsoft Office, Azure Active Directory, and Content Manager.

Condor sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales using a consultative, quote-based model with annual subscriptions targeted at government procurement. Distribution is entirely direct, with no resellers or self-service channels. The company has 11-50 employees (firmographics estimate), with leadership including CEO Ian Moes (since 2016), CTO Mark Walker, Head of Engineering Steven Towler, and Head of Customer Success April Armistead. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors or acquisition activity, operating with steady release cadence (most recent major version v2.9.0 in May 2025 and patch v2.9.5 in December 2025) and ongoing team expansion into 2025.

Core offering

Condor is a modular, cloud-based investigation and intelligence management software suite (built on Microsoft Azure) sold to Australian and international government agencies. It covers the full investigation lifecycle — case intake, triage, evidence management, intelligence/relationship mapping, field operations, legislative compliance, and records disposal — purpose-built for law enforcement, intelligence, integrity, and regulatory bodies and certified to AGIS 2022 and IRAP Protected Level.

Product overview

Condor is a modular investigation and intelligence management software platform consisting of five core and add-on modules. The platform is built on Condor Core, which provides the foundational framework for three core modules: Condor Investigate (end-to-end investigations management), Condor Intel (intelligence and relationship network management), and Condor Assess (case triage and assessment). Two additional add-on modules extend the platform: Condor Compliance (legislative compliance for agencies with special powers) and Condor Operations (field operation planning and execution with mobile apps). A sixth add-on, Condor Disposals & Destructions, enables compliant management and permanent deletion of sensitive data. All modules work together as a complete system or can be implemented separately and configured to specific organisational requirements, with a focus on Australian law enforcement, intelligence, compliance and regulatory agencies.
