Om Hreem Arham Namo Arihantanam extends the seed syllable Arham with the invocatory Om and the additional bija Hreem into a fuller devotional formula used in some Jain puja, dhyana meditation and abhishek (ritual bathing of an image) practice. It is a later devotional elaboration rather than a scripturally fixed mantra of the same canonical standing as the Navkar Mantra, which remains the tradition's one universally recited formula, but it is genuinely distinct in its usage context, appearing in ritual worship settings the plainer Arham does not.
