Italian term or phrase: censimento immobiliare
it's a text about real estate management software.
The word "censimento" crops up over and over again together with "property and facility management" and it refers to a software program for "censimento, facility and property management" (IN ENGLISH in the Italian source text).
Is it ok to translate this as "Census"? Or since it's a real estate concept, would it better translate as "surveying" or "Mapping"?
Thanks

Explanation:
Surveying real estate is what a "geometra" does, and mapping in this context would be confused with drawing maps. Audit, might fit the bill here. It is counting which is what a "censimento" is.
