Snack Brands Australia - End-to-End Site Access Control, Compliance, Vehicle Movements and Weighbridge Data

Snack Brands Australia (SBA), established in 1998, is a Sydney-based renowned snack food manufacturer known for its high-quality snacks like Samboy, Thins, Kettle, CC's, and Cheezels.

SBA has a strong reputation and loyal consumer base, emphasising innovation and sustainability. It currently operates three Sydney sites consisting of a new DC in Orchard Hills, and their plants in Smithfield and Blacktown. A new plant in Orchard Hills will replace the latter two in 2024.

By implementing Mobiledock, SBA has been able todigitise inbound operations and provide real-time visibility of site activity. As part of its ongoing optimisation, SBA extended its Mobiledock deployment to include automated site access control, digital CoR capture and integrated weighbridge data collection.

Verified Instant Access – Full Control of Site Entry

SBA has extended its Mobiledock deployment with Verified Instant Access, enabling 100% control of all vehicles entering site. An ongoing Access Code is issued to contractors, couriers and all authorised drivers, providing a secure and consistent method for managing site access.

Each authorised driver is assigned a permanent Access Code aligned to SBA’s access rules. On arrival, drivers enter their code at the gate, which automatically validates their authority to enter, updates their booking or visit status in real time, and allows access only when conditions are met. Vehicles without a valid code are denied entry.

This ensures SBA has complete visibility and control of every vehicle on site—scheduled or unscheduled—removing uncontrolled arrivals, reducing congestion at entry points, improving safety and compliance, and eliminating the need for manual gate checks.

Digital Chain of Responsibility (CoR) Capture at Driver Kiosks

All drivers complete Chain of Responsibility (CoR) declarations at on-site driver kiosks as part of the check-in process. CoR questions are presented digitally and aligned to SBA’s safety and compliance requirements.

Driver responses are captured in real time and automatically linked to the relevant booking within Mobiledock, creating a complete, time-stamped compliance record for each vehicle movement. This removes paper-based processes and ensures CoR compliance is consistently captured before vehicles proceed on site.

SBA gains a reliable, auditable CoR trail across all vehicle types, improving safety oversight, regulatory compliance and confidence in driver readiness.

Weighbridge Integration – Automated Weight Capture and Reporting

All agronomy and waste delivery and collection drivers are directed through SBA’s entry and exit weighbridges. Drivers enter their Mobiledock Booking PIN at the weighbridge, linking the vehicle, movement and weight data to the correct booking.

Gross and tare weights are captured automatically at entry and exit, with the data sent directly into Mobiledock and recorded against the booking details in real time. This removes manual data entry and ensures accurate, consistent weight capture.

Weighbridge data is automatically made available to SBA for reporting purposes, providing clear visibility across agronomy and waste movements and supporting traceability, compliance and data confidence.
