About the team
Customer Fulfilment, or CF, is where it all started for Amazon. CF has scaled up from a humble team of booksellers to a sophisticated global team which handles more than 1.5 million orders every day.

We help to manage dynamic inventory and facilitate speedy deliveries round the clock.
