German term or phrase: Verortung

Hello all,
This is from logistics software documentation:
"Geografische Zuordnung einer Umschlagstelle zu einer Straßenkreuzung [in a digital map]". I've suggested "positioning", but the customer doesn't like it. They suggest "localisation"...

Anyone help?

Many thanks!
