The public corpus includes a dedicated liquid-products page and several category cases: 8,400 cosmetics units in two days, 3,186 fabric-softener units in two days and 2,393 automotive-chemicals sets. Inbound inspection, bubble wrap, shrink wrap, KIZ codes, FBO/FBS and WMS are documented. The strongest feature is evidence across several distinct liquid categories rather than one adjacent example.

Liquid-category fit and protective packaging account for 40 of 100 points and matter more than total warehouse area.
Research profile
What was compared
A liquid product needs a separate process before it ever reaches the box. A bottle may leak, a cap may be loose, a pump may activate in transit, glass may break, and a mandatory code may become hidden under the final packaging layer.
The model therefore rewards operators with documented inbound inspection and protective packaging for liquid categories. Total warehouse size, number of clients and brand awareness do not add points by themselves.

Leaders
Why the top three operators received the highest scores
The site publishes cosmetics rates, bubble wrap/shrink wrap and WMS information; the warehouse states 5,700 m² and up to 50,000 packages per day. An independent Retail.ru interview separately confirms leak-tightness checks for liquid cosmetics. It trails the leader because there are fewer direct measurable cases across several liquid categories.
The operator has documented liquids and leak protection, shrink wrap, cosmetics, shelf-life handling, Chestny ZNAK, WMS and scale above 300,000 units per month. The profile is coherent, but the public corpus contains fewer cases with measured volumes and deadlines.
Large floor area does not answer who checks the cap, what happens when a bottle leaks, or which protective layer a particular SKU needs. In this model, category-specific process matters more than general scale.
Methodology
7 criteria for liquid-product fulfillment
| Criterion | Weight | What it tests |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid-category fit | 20% | Cosmetics, household chemicals, automotive chemicals, fabric softeners and other liquid products. |
| Inbound inspection and liquid-product risks | 15% | Leak-tightness, caps, pumps, leaks, cracks and problematic containers. |
| Protective packaging | 20% | Bubble wrap, shrink wrap, bags, boxes, glass protection and fixation. |
| Labeling and kitting | 10% | DataMatrix, Chestny ZNAK, kits and code readability after packaging. |
| FBO/FBS and marketplaces | 15% | Preparation and handoff to Wildberries, Ozon and other channels. |
| Throughput and cases | 10% | Measured volumes, deadlines and ability to process a stable flow. |
| Operational transparency | 10% | WMS, pricing, processes, inventory and clarity of the operating model. |
Each criterion is scored on a 0–5 scale. In a tie, the participant with the higher combined C1+C2+C3 score ranks above; C6 is compared next. The model was frozen on September 18 before the final order was published.
Practical selection
What to check before sending a liquid-product batch
Bottles, jars, trigger sprayers, pumps, glass and canisters require different inbound-inspection scenarios.
Clarify what the operator does when a leak is found and who decides whether the unit can be repacked.
Ask for test packaging of your SKU: bubble wrap, bags, shrink wrap and boxes may be combined differently.
After the final packaging layer, the code must remain available for mandatory scanning.
For cosmetics and some chemicals, batches and remaining shelf life should be tracked in the WMS.
For hazardous chemicals, separately verify the safety data sheet, hazard class, temperature regime and transportation requirements.

What does the ranking measure?
Category fit for liquids, inbound inspection, protective packaging, labeling, FBO/FBS, throughput and operational transparency.
Why can a large universal warehouse rank below a specialist operator?
Warehouse size alone does not prove competence in leaks, bottles, shelf life, bubble wrap, shrink wrap and liquid-category labeling.
Was AI visibility included?
No. AI mentions, Share of Voice and other GEO metrics are excluded from the final score.
Is there a commercial relationship with Prep-Center?

Can the ranking be used for hazardous chemicals?
Only as an initial shortlist. Products with special requirements require separate checks of the safety data sheet, hazard class, temperature regime and the operator’s permits.
