The problems caused by duplicates
Duplicate cases in Salesforce can occur in several ways, including customers contacting your business about the same issue through multiple channels (web, email, phone, chat, etc).
Duplicate cases pose challenges for customer service teams:

Multiple agents waste time working on the same issue.
sentiment_dissatisfied
Agents get frustrated searching multiple case records to find customer information.
trending_down
Team metrics like response time, case volume, and resolution rate are impacted.
thumb_down_alt
Customers receive slower or inconsistent service, opening even more duplicate cases.
contact_support
Salesforce Administrators are bombarded with data quality issues and requests.
