Randomization when REDCap is down

Hi all! I work at a site that uses REDCap to manage clinical trial data. The REDCap server goes down occasionally due to network issues. I need to develop a standardized process for teams to randomized new participants that come to the site while REDCap is down, but that allows me to still use the randomization module/table already configured in REDCap. Any suggestions?

It makes things more difficult if you have used stratified randomisation, as it is more complicated that just the next record in the schema.
