1. A system for routing requests in a distributed environment, the system comprising:
a controller including a local database;
a terminal, the terminal configured to:
receive a request associated with a physical object;
attempt to transmit the request to a cloud computing system; and
a router communicatively interposed between the terminal, the cloud computing system, and the controller, the router is configured to:
attempt to initiate communication between the terminal and the cloud computing system in response to the attempt by the terminal to transmit the request to the cloud computing system; and
reroute the request to the controller in response to failing to initiate communication between the terminal and the cloud computing system after specified amount of time.
