IT company based in Hull, United Kingdom
IT systems that work when your business needs them to.
3oakx builds and looks after the software, infrastructure and support that small and medium-sized businesses depend on day to day.
What we do
A small set of services, done properly, rather than a long list we can't back up.
Software Development
We design and build web applications, internal tools and integrations using established, well-supported technology. Every project starts with a working prototype, not a slide deck.
Cloud & Infrastructure
We set up and manage cloud hosting, servers and networks, so your systems stay online and your team isn't the one troubleshooting an outage at midnight.
IT Support
Day to day technical support for your team, from account and access issues to diagnosing recurring problems, with response times you can rely on.
Cybersecurity
We review your systems for weak points, set up backups and access controls, and help you meet the security requirements your clients or insurers ask for.
IT Consulting
Before you spend money on new software or infrastructure, we help you work out what your business actually needs and what you can safely skip.
Core capabilities
The areas of technology we work in day to day, applied through whichever tools genuinely fit the job.
Who we work with
Our services are built around small and medium-sized businesses in the following areas.
Retail & e-commerce
Point-of-sale systems, inventory tools and online stores that stay reliable during your busiest hours.
Professional services
Secure document handling, client record systems and dependable day-to-day IT support.
Manufacturing & logistics
Network infrastructure that connects your shop floor, warehouse and back office.
Education
Manageable IT environments for staff and students, with sensible access controls in place.
Hospitality
Booking systems, guest Wi-Fi and payment infrastructure that keeps working under pressure.
How a project works
Conversation
We start by understanding how your business actually works, not just what system you think you need.
Plan
You get a clear, written scope of what will be delivered, how long it will take and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Build & test
We build in stages, so you can see progress and give feedback along the way rather than at the very end.
Support
Once a project is live, we stay involved to fix issues, make small changes and keep things running.
About 3oakx
3oakx is a UK-based IT company working with small and medium-sized businesses. We keep our team small enough that you deal directly with the people doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages between you and an engineer.
We don't sell services you don't need. Every engagement starts with an honest look at what your business actually depends on, and a plan built around that, not around a standard package.
Direct access
You deal directly with the person doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages.
Fixed-price clarity
Costs are agreed before work starts, so there are no surprise invoices at the end of a project.
UK based
Based in Hull, working with businesses across the United Kingdom, in person and remotely.
Plain language
Advice explained in plain terms, without unnecessary jargon or pressure to buy more than you need.
Frequently asked questions
No. We're based in Hull, but we work with businesses across the UK, in person where it helps and remotely everywhere else.
