Abstract
A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving input of product value data for a product item and a data modifier for the product value data, the data modifier identifying a target margin value associated with the product item; determining at least one current inventory location for the product item; obtaining a shipping rate associated with shipping the product item to a geographical region from the at least one current inventory location; retrieving historical transfer value preference data for the geographical region; modifying at least one of the product value data, the shipping rate, or the target margin value based on the historical transfer value preference data; determining a transfer value of the product item based on the modified at least one of the product value data, the shipping rate, or the target margin value; and generating an indication of the transfer value of the product item.
