Inventory flash of Cisco switch

I just started a mini project to upgrade 200ish Cisco switches. I wrote a quick and dirty script to stage the software, and it looks like it worked from what I see.

My boss however is asking to provide him "proof" that all the switches have the correct software staged (even though we're doing the upgrades manually one-by-one to make sure nothing goes wrong).

Does solarwinds or a similar tool have the ability to do a report or inventory on network devices' flash? Or should I instead focus on doing a check via python?

I hesitate to use python because to my boss it's sorcery, and I'd hate to put a few hours into creating a script to do something only to have to do it again a different way.
