The system obtains information of the item, accesses vast databases and utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze various data points and generates accurate valuation for the item. The system assesses the value of the item based on location, recent sales transaction data, latest market information, etc., and ensures that the item valuation is current and accurate. Further, the system determines loan tenure or loan amount that can be provided to the user to pawn or buy the item.
