1. A method for inventory management utilizing radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, comprising:
transmitting, via a RFID device, an allocation request for serial numbers to be associated with a product identifier;
receiving a batch of serial numbers from a remote server, with the remote server dynamically determining a size of the batch of serial numbers based on network connection quality between the RFID device and the remote server and the allocation request;
selecting a first serial number from the batch of serial numbers, wherein the first serial number is selected during a time period in which the RFID device lacks network connectivity with the remote server;
transmitting the first serial number to a first RFID tag configured to be coupled with an article associated with the product identifier; and
transmitting an update to the remote server indicating that the first serial number has been registered to the first RFID tag, in response to determining the RFID device is communicatively connected to the remote server.
