About Dinewise/PawnTrust

Dinewise (OTC PINK:DWIS) through its company PawnTrust engages in small business loans to thriving entrepreneurs. PawnTrust has now added a marketplace exclusively for Pawn Shops to its business model. PawnTrust acts as an intermediary between the Pawn Shop and consumer using the best technology to streamline borrowing, buying and bartering transactions through an app on a mobile phone. PawnTrust has established Pawn Partners, which are local Pawn Shops, in which inventory is extrapolated into the PawnTrust Marketplace. This allows the Pawn Shops to immediately and seamlessly have their inventory displayed nationally. PawnTrust works like an amplifier. Many of these local stores do not have a web presence nor capital to market their inventory on a national basis. By leveraging the PawnTrust national marketplace the local store can create incremental sales from a wider range of buyers.

PawnTrust uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the marketplace platform to automate various workflows including advance image recognition algorithms. Items are automatically identified and descriptions are generated with remarkable accuracy which speeds up the process and standardizes the descriptions. This has the potential to transform the pawn industry where descriptive tags help to create a context based search for a user friendly interface. Using AI will bring an immersive and engaging experience.

TitlePal, is currently one of its subsidiary companies through an affiliate relationship. TitlePal is a complete online title pawn lender. Another first to market. TitlePal enhances the customer experience by allowing the loan to take place without the customer going to a store front. There are over 6000 storefront title pawn operations in the United States and TitlePal feels it can affect this market similarly to the way Netflix affected Video Store rentals i.e. Blockbuster. visit www.titlepal.com

PawnTrust is a publicly traded company on the OTC: Pink traded under the symbol DWIS.
